This document discusses rotations and dilations of geometric shapes. It defines a rotation as turning a shape around a center point, with all points maintaining their distance from the center. A dilation stretches or shrinks a shape by a scale factor, where a factor greater than 1 results in enlargement and between 0 and 1 results in shrinking. Examples are provided of rotating and dilating triangles, with step-by-step workings to find the new point coordinates. Additional online practice resources are recommended for mastering these transformation techniques.

2. What is a rotation?
Rotation means turning around a center
The distance from the center to any point on the shape stays the same.
Every point makes a circle around the center.
Check out my source for a neat GIF that shows a rotation.

3. Rotation Tricks
If your original point A (x , y) is rotated 90属 counterclockwise it becomes
A(-y , x).
If your original point B (x, y) is rotated 90属 clockwise it becomes B(y, -x)
If your original point C (x, y) is rotated 180属 counterclockwise or clockwise it
becomes (-x, -y). (if you go 180属 in counterclockwise or clockwise they
would both end up in the same place)
If your original point D (x, y) is rotated 270属 counterclockwise it becomes
D(y, -x). (Same as 90属 clockwise)
4. Try These
Rotate Q (-1, 3) 90属 counterclockwise about the origin.
Rotate M(4, -6) 270属 counterclockwise about the origin.
Rotate N (-2, -3) 180属 clockwise about the origin.
Rotate Triangle T (0, -9) U (7, 8) V (-6, 3) 90属 clockwise about the origin.
5. Answers.
Q (-3, -1)
M (-6, -4)
N (2, 3)
T(-9, 0) U(8, -7) V(3, 6)

6. Dilations
A dilation stretches or shrinks an object. It is the same shape as the original,
just a different size.
The scale factor is how much the object stretches or shrinks.
If the scale factor is greater than one, the object stretches. If it between
zero and 1 (0<k<1) then the object shrinks.
To find the new image, simply multiply the points by the scale factor.

7. Try some
Triangle A (-2, 3) B(3, 6) C (-5, 9) is dilated by a scale factor of 遜. Find the
new points of the image.
Triangle Q (4, -1) R (-4, 8) S (10, 2) is dilated by a scale factor of 3. Find the
new points of the image.
Triangle D (-3, -4) E (6, 8) F (12, 2) is dilated and is now at D (-6, -8) E (12,
16) F (24, 12). By what scale factor did the dilation occur?
8. Answers
A (-1, 1.5) B (1.5, 3) C (-2.5, 4.5)
Q (12, -3) R (-12, 24) S (30, 6)
Scale factor = 2
