Transcript text: Find the image of the quadrilateral to the right in a $180^{\circ}$ clockwise rotation about D.
Choose the correct figure of the rotation below.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the center of rotation
The center of rotation is point D.
Step 2: Understand the rotation
We need to rotate the quadrilateral 180° clockwise about point D.
Step 3: Determine the new positions of the vertices
Point D remains in the same position.
Point A, which is 3 units left and 2 units up from D, will move to 3 units right and 2 units down from D.
Point B, which is 5 units right and 2 units up from D, will move to 5 units left and 2 units down from D.
Point C, which is 3 units right and 2 units down from D, will move to 3 units left and 2 units up from D.
Step 4: Match the new positions with the given options
Option A: Incorrect, as the positions do not match the calculated new positions.
Option B: Incorrect, as the positions do not match the calculated new positions.
Option C: Correct, as the positions match the calculated new positions.
