Question

which of the pictures below show a rotation (turn) of the figure about a point?
w.
x.
y.
z.
a. z
b. y
c. w
d. x

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation definition

Rotation is turning a figure around a fixed - point. The shape and size of the figure remain the same, but its orientation changes.

Step2: Analyze option W

In option W, the orientation of the shaded part of the triangle has changed in a way that suggests a turn around the given point.

Step3: Analyze option X

In option X, the two triangles are in the same orientation, which indicates a translation (slide) rather than a rotation.

Step4: Analyze option Y

In option Y, the two triangles are in the same orientation, which indicates a translation (slide) rather than a rotation.

Step5: Analyze option Z

In option Z, the change in the figure looks more like a reflection (flip) rather than a rotation.

Answer:

C. W
