Centre and angle of rotation By Dominic Bradley
Imagine a rectangle C B D A
That rotates around a point C B D A
To give a new rectangle C B B D C A A D
Or rotates even further C B B D C A A D B A C D
Each point rotates on a circle around the origin of rotation B B D C A A D B A C The centre of rotation is the point around which an object moves. It is always the same distance from the moving point. D
The angle of rotation is between the origin and each point that moves
Join the 2 points “A” to the Centre of Rotation B B D C A A D B X A C D Measure the angle created to give the Angle of Rotation
