Rotations

Question 1 • High School Math 2 A

Which are properties of rotations? Check all that apply.Rotations are always counterclockwise.Rotations preserve size.Rotations of 360° map a figure to itself.Lines connecting corresponding points on the pre-image and image are parallel.Lines connecting corresponding points on the pre-image and image have equal length.Lines connecting the center of rotation to the pre-image and the corresponding point on the image have equal length.

Answer
A
Rotations are always counterclockwise.
B
Rotations preserve size.
C
Rotations of 360° map a figure to itself.
D
Lines connecting corresponding points on the pre-image and image are parallel.
E
Lines connecting corresponding points on the pre-image and image have equal length.
F
Lines connecting the center of rotation to the pre-image and the corresponding point on the image have equal length.

Explanation

A rotation preserves distances and angles, so it preserves a figure’s size. A 360° rotation returns every point to its starting location, and each point and its rotated image are the same distance from the center of rotation. Rotations can be clockwise or counterclockwise, and the distances between a point and its image can vary depending on how far the point is from the center.
