Rotations
High School Math based on the topics required for the Regents Exam conducted by NYSED.
Geometry RotationA rotation is an isometric transformation: the original figure and the image are congruent. The orientation of the image also stays the same, unlike reflections. To perform a geometry rotation, we first need to know the point of rotation, the angle of rotation, and a direction (either clockwise or counterclockwise). A rotation is also the same as a composition of reflections over intersecting lines.
The following figures show rotation about a point and rotation as a double reflection.
How to rotate a figure "x" degrees around a point? Composition of Reflections over 2 Intersecting Lines
The composition of reflections over 2 intersecting lines results in an image that is a rotation double the angle between the intersecting lines.
