Question

segment \\(\overline{ab}\\) is the result of rotating \\(\overline{ab}\\) by \\(90^\circ\\) about point \\(p\\).

coordinate plane image with points p, b, a and segment ab, then question about unchanged properties of ab and ab with options a to d

select all of the correct statements about the unchanged properties of \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{ab}\\).

choose all answers that apply:

a \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{ab}\\) are both perpendicular to the \\(x\\)-axis.

b \\(a\\) and \\(a\\) have the same coordinates.

c \\(\overline{ab}\\) and \\(\overline{ab}\\) have the same lengths.

d none of the above

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Option A: $\overline{AB}$ is horizontal (parallel to the x - axis), not perpendicular. After a $90^{\circ}$ rotation, $\overline{A'B'}$ will be vertical (perpendicular to the x - axis). So this statement is false.
  • Option B: A rotation about point $P$ will change the coordinates of $A$ to get $A'$, so $A$ and $A'$ do not have the same coordinates. This statement is false.
  • Option C: Rotations are rigid transformations, which means the length of a segment remains unchanged after rotation. So $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{A'B'}$ have the same length. This statement is true.
  • Option D: Since option C is correct, this option is false.

Answer:

C. $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{A'B'}$ have the same lengths.
