What's on the worksheet

  1. Find the image of each point under the given rotation about the origin:
    R_{O,\,90^\circ}(4, -7)R_{O,\,180^\circ}(-6, 2)R_{O,\,-90^\circ}(-3, -8)R_{O,\,270^\circ}(5, 9)R_{O,\,-270^\circ}(-2, 6)
  2. Read the coordinates of a triangle and its image and describe the rotation.
  3. Word problem: where a Ferris wheel car lands after the wheel turns.
  4. Work backward from a rotated image to find the original point.
  5. Check Hiro's rotation of a point by 90 degrees about the origin.
  6. Use the definition of a rotation to rotate a point by angles that are not multiples of 90 degrees.
  7. Word problem: the total turn of a lazy Susan after three people turn it.
