Goal • Identify rotations and rotational symmetry.
Key Vocabulary • Rotation • Center of rotation • Angle of rotation • Rotational symmetry
Rotation Vocabulary • Rotation – transformation that turns every point of a pre-image through a specified angle and direction about a fixed point. image Pre-image rotation fixed point
Rotation Vocabulary • Center of rotation – fixed point of the rotation. Center of Rotation
Rotation Vocabulary • Angle of rotation – angle between a pre-image point and corresponding image point. image Pre-image Angle of Rotation
Example: Click the triangle to see rotation Center of Rotation Rotation
Example 1: Identifying Rotations Tell whether each transformation appears to be a rotation. Explain. B. A. No; the figure appears to be flipped. Yes; the figure appears to be turned around a point.
Your Turn: Tell whether each transformation appears to be a rotation. b. a. Yes, the figure appears to be turned around a point. No, the figure appears to be a translation.
Rotation Vocabulary • Rotational symmetry – A figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180⁰ or less. Has rotational symmetry because it maps onto itself by a rotation of 90⁰.

Rotational Symmetry Whena figure can be rotated less than 360° and the image and pre-image are indistinguishable (regular polygons are a great example). Symmetry Rotational: 120° 90° 60° 45°
a. Rectangle b. Regular hexagon c. Trapezoid SOLUTION a. Yes. A rectangle can be mapped onto itself by a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 180° about its center. Example 2 Identify Rotational Symmetry Does the figure have rotational symmetry? If so, describe the rotations that map the figure onto itself.
b. Yes. A regular hexagon can be mapped onto itself by a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 60°, 120°, or 180° about its center. c. No. A trapezoid does not have rotational symmetry. Example 2 Identify Rotational Symmetry Regular hexagon Trapezoid
Your Turn: 1. Isosceles trapezoid no ANSWER 2. Parallelogram yes; a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 180° about its center ANSWER Does the figure have rotational symmetry? If so, describe the rotations that map the figure onto itself.
Your Turn: 3. Regular octagon yes; a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 45°, 90°, 135°, or 180° about its center ANSWER
Rotation in a Coordinate Plane • For a Rotation, you need; • An angle or degree of turn • Eg 90° or a Quarter Turn • E.g. 180 ° or a Half Turn • A direction • Clockwise • Anticlockwise • A Centre of Rotation • A point around which Object rotates

Rotate it 90° counterclockwise about the origin and name the coordinates of the new vertices. Use a protractor and a ruler to find the rotated vertices. The coordinates of the vertices of the image are A'(2, 2),B'(–1, 4), C'(–1, 5),andD'(1, 5).
