Question

triangle \\(bcd\\) is rotated \\(80^\circ\\) clockwise about the origin to form \\(\delta klm\\). if \\(m\angle klm = 30^\circ\\), what is \\(m\angle bcd\\)?

\\(80^\circ\\)
\\(110^\circ\\)
\\(50^\circ\\)
\\(30^\circ\\)

Explanation:

Identify the transformation type

Using the Rotations in the Coordinate Plane and Rigid Transformations knowledge points

$$ \text{Rotation is a rigid transformation (isometry).} $$

Apply properties of rigid transformations

Using the Rigid Transformations and Geometric Congruence Definition knowledge points

$$ \triangle BCD \cong \triangle KLM \implies \angle BCD \cong \angle KLM $$

Determine the target angle measure

Using the Geometric Congruence Definition knowledge point

$$ m\angle BCD = m\angle KLM = 30^\circ $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(80^\circ\)
  • (B) \(110^\circ\)
  • (C) \(50^\circ\)
  • (D) \(30^\circ\) (Correct answer)
