1 Geometry 4-3 Rotations
2 Goals Identify rotations in the plane.Apply rotation formulas to figures on the coordinate plane. 12/7/2017
3 4-3 Rotation A transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point, called the center of rotation. Center of Rotation 12/7/2017
4 4-3 Rotation Rays drawn from the center of rotation to a point and its image form an angle called the angle of rotation. G 90 Center of Rotation G’ 12/7/2017

21 Rotational Symmetry A figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180 or less. 45 90 The square has rotational symmetry of 90. 12/7/2017
22 Does this figure have rotational symmetry?The hexagon has rotational symmetry of 60. 12/7/2017
23 Does this figure have rotational symmetry?Yes, of 180. 12/7/2017
24 Does this figure have rotational symmetry?90 180 270 360 No, it required a full 360 to map onto itself. 12/7/2017
25 Summary A rotation is a transformation where the preimage is rotated about the center of rotation. Rotations are Isometries. A figure has rotational symmetry if it maps onto itself at an angle of rotation of 180 or less. 12/7/2017
