Which figure shows a 180° counterclockwise rotation of Figure A?

 a. Figure 3 b. Figure 1 c. Figure 4 d. Figure 2

Solution:

Rotation is the transformation in which a figure is turned by an angle.

When the given figure is rotated 180° counterclockwise, Figure1 is obtained.

12.
Which figure shows a 180° clockwise rotation of Figure A?

 a. Figure 1 b. Figure 2 c. Figure 4 d. Figure 3

Solution:

Rotation is the transformation in which a figure is turned by an angle.

When the given figure is rotated 180° clockwise, Figure 2 is obtained.

13.
Which figure shows a 360° counterclockwise rotation of Figure A?

 a. Figure 4 b. Figure 1 c. Figure 3 d. Figure 2

Solution:

Rotation is the transformation in which a figure is turned by an angle.

When the given figure is rotated 360° counterclockwise, Figure 4 is obtained.

14.
A rotation is also called a ______.
 a. translation b. flip c. slide d. turn

Solution:

A rotation is also called as turn.

15.
Flip is also called as _________.
 a. reflection b. slide c. rotation d. translation

Solution:

Flip is also called as reflection.

16.
Choose whether Figure 2 is a flip, slide, or turn of Figure 1.

 a. slide b. I don′t know. c. turn d. flip

Solution:

Figure 2 is obtained by rotating Figure 1.

So, Figure 2 is a turn of Figure 1.

17.
Choose whether Figure 2 is a reflection, translation, or rotation of Figure 1.

 a. I don′t know. b. reflection c. rotation d. translation

Solution:

Both Figure 1 and Figure 2 are moving in the same direction.

So, Figure 2 is a translation of Figure 1.

18.
Choose whether Figure 2 is a flip, slide or turn of Figure 1.

 a. I don′t know. b. turn c. slide d. flip

Solution:

Figure 2 is obtained by turning over Figure 1.

So, Figure 2 is a flip of Figure 1.
