Goal Identify rotations and rotational symmetry.

Key Vocabulary Rotation Center of rotation Angle of rotation Rotational symmetry

Rotation Vocabulary Rotation – transformation that turns every point of a pre-image through a specified angle and direction about a fixed point. Pre-imageimage fixed point rotation

Rotation Vocabulary Center of rotation – fixed point of the rotation. Center of Rotation

Rotation Vocabulary Angle of rotation – angle between a pre-image point and corresponding image point. Angle of Rotation image Pre-image

Example 1: Identifying Rotations Tell whether each transformation appears to be a rotation. Explain. No; the figure appears to be flipped. Yes; the figure appears to be turned around a point. A. B.

Your Turn: Tell whether each transformation appears to be a rotation. No, the figure appears to be a translation. Yes, the figure appears to be turned around a point. a. b.

Rotation Vocabulary Rotational symmetry – A figure in a plane has rotational symmetry if the figure can be mapped onto itself by a rotation of 180 ⁰ or less. Has rotational symmetry because it maps onto itself by a rotation of 90 ⁰.

Rotational Symmetry When a figure can be rotated less than 360° and the image and pre-image are indistinguishable (regular polygons are a great example). Symmetry Rotational:120°90°60°45°

Identify Rotational Symmetry Example 2 Does the figure have rotational symmetry? If so, describe the rotations that map the figure onto itself. Regular hexagonb.Rectanglea. Trapezoidc. SOLUTION Yes. A rectangle can be mapped onto itself by a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 180° about its center. a.

Identify Rotational Symmetry Example 2 Yes. A regular hexagon can be mapped onto itself by a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of 60°, 120°, or 180° about its center. b. No. A trapezoid does not have rotational symmetry.c. Regular hexagon Trapezoid
