Understanding Rotation in Geometry

The document discusses geometric transformations through rotations. It defines rotation as a transformation that takes each point in a figure and rotates it a certain number of degrees around a given point, called the center of rotation. The amount of rotation is known as the angle of rotation. Examples are given of rotating figures like segments, triangles, and quadrilaterals around different centers of rotation and at various angles. Equations for calculating the coordinates of a point after a rotation are also provided.

GEOMETRIC TRANSFROMATIONS

ROTATION
Rotation
 It is type of transformation that
takes each point in a figure and
rotates it a certain number of
degrees around a given point.
 The turning of an object or
coordinate system by an
angle about a fixed point.
 It is an orientation preserving
orthogonal transformation .
The point about which the object is
rotated is the center of rotation.

The amount of rotation measured


in degrees is called the angle of
rotation.
The given figure shows rotation of a segment and a
triangle about a point. In both cases, the angle of
rotation is angle AOA'
a. A segment is not necessarily parallel to its
image.
b. The inverse of a rotation is a rotation
about the same point and with the same
angle of rotation, but measured in the
opposite sense.
c. The product of two rotations about the
same point is another rotation about that
point.
d. The set of all rotations about a fixed point
is a group of transformations.
Direction of Rotation
Rotation can be done in both directions like
clockwise as well as counterclockwise. The most
common rotation angles are 90°, 180° and 270°.
However, a clockwise rotation implies a negative
magnitude, so a counterclockwise turn has a positive
magnitude. There are specific rules for rotation in
the coordinate plane.
Equation of Rotation
A rotation about the origin is a transformation
with equations of the form:
′
𝑥 =𝑥 cos ∝ − 𝑦 sin ∝
′
𝑦 =𝑥 sin ∝+ 𝑦 cos ∝
The equation of rotation about a point (h,k) are:
′
𝑥 −h=(𝑥 −h)cos ∝ −(𝑦 −𝑘)sin∝
′
𝑦 −𝑘=(𝑥 − h)sin∝+( 𝑦 − 𝑘)cos∝
Example:
Find the image of P(2,3) under a rotation of 60°
about the origin
′
𝑥 =𝑥 cos ∝ − 𝑦 sin ∝
′
𝑦 =𝑥 sin ∝+ 𝑦 cos ∝
Then

The coordinates of P’ are (1 – , + )


Examples

Draw the image of the triangle with


coordinates A(-6, -6), B(-6, 3), C(-2, 3)
by rotating it 90 degrees clockwise
about the origin.
A(-6, -6) A’ (-6,6)
B(-6, 3) B’ (3,6)
C(-2, 3) C’ (3,2)
Examples

Draw the image of the triangle with


coordinates A(8,4), B(10, 2),
C(10, 5) by rotating it 45 degrees
clockwise about a point (7,1) .
Then;
A (8,4) Center (7,1)

The coordinates of A’ (9.83, 2.41)


Then;
B (10,2) Center (7,1)

The coordinates of B’ (9.83, -0.41)


Then;
C (10,5) Center (7,1)

The coordinates of C’ (11.95, 1.71)


Center at point D (7,1)
A(8,4) A’ (9.83, 2.41)
B(10, 2) B’ (9.83, -0.41)
C(10, 5) C’ (11.95, 1.71)
Activity

Draw the image of the quadrilateral


with coordinates A(-5, -2), B(-4, 5),
C(2, 5), D(2, 0) by rotating it 90
degrees clockwise about the origin.
