Which image shows a rotation?
Understand the Problem
The question asks which of the three provided images shows a rotation of the shape displayed in the first image. It involves visualizing transformations in geometry, particularly rotations.
Answer
C
Answer for screen readers
The answer is image C.
Steps to Solve
- Identify the Original Shape
Examine the original shape. The shape is a right triangle oriented in a certain position.
- Analyze Each Option
Look at each option (A, B, and C) to see how the triangle has been changed. Focus on the position and orientation of the triangle in each option.
- Compare Rotations
Determine whether any of the options show the original shape rotated.
- A rotation means the shape has turned around a point, keeping its size and angles unchanged.
- Measure the angle of rotation from its original position to each option.
- Choose the Correct Option
Select the image where the triangle appears as a result of a rotation of the original shape.
The answer is image C.
More Information
The rotation of a shape maintains its size and angles while changing its position. In this case, image C is the only one that shows the original triangle rotated correctly while preserving its dimensions.
Tips
- Misinterpreting a flip (reflection) as a rotation. Ensure the new position is due only to a rotational change.
- Overlooking the orientation of the triangle before and after. Visualizing it in 90-degree increments can help.
