problem on rotation of a triangle about 90 degrees

Topic:-Rotation of a triangle

A triangle is one of the basic shapes of geometry: a polygon with three corners or vertices and three side s or edges which are line segments. A triangle with vertices A, B, and C is denoted ABC.

We can rotate this triangle ,when we have the vertices of triangle ,based on the origin of triangle.

This geometry help will give a example problem.

Question:-

Rotate a triangle A with vertices (1,0),(2,1),(3,-2)by 90 degrees about the origin

Answer:-


Rotation by 90° about the origin : R(origin,90°)


A rotation by 90° about the origin can be seen in the picture below in which A is rotated to it's image A| .The general rule for rotation by 90° about the origin is (A,B)-->(-B,A)

















For more help on this ,you can reply me.
