See Problem 2.

Point O is the center of regular hexagon HEXAGN. Find the image of the given point or segment for the given rotation.

Hexagon HEXAGN, with H at the top left and E at the top right, has segments from each vertex to point O in the center.

  1. 60 degrees  rotation of E about O
  2. 120 degrees  rotation of eh x bar  about O
  3. 240 degrees  rotation of n g bar  about O
  4. 360 degrees  rotation of H about O

Native American Art Find the angle of rotation about C that (a) maps Q to X and (b) maps X to Q.

  1. A circular piece of art, with center C, has eight patterns with point Q at the top left of one pattern and point X at the top left of the pattern two patterns away clockwise.
  2. A circular piece of art, with center C, has eight pattern points, with point Q at the point on the right and point X at the point at the bottom right, three points away from Q counterclockwise.
  3. A circular piece of art, with center C, has five pattern points, with point Q between the bottom two points and point X between the top and right points.

See Problem 4.

For Exercises 24–29, copy cap delta x y z .  Draw the image of cap delta x y z  for the given composition of rotations about the given point.

Triangle XYZ has side XZ at the bottom, with vertex Y up to the right.

  1. 45 degrees comma  then 45 degrees semicolon  X
  2. 45 degrees comma  then 45 degrees semicolon  Y
  3. 30 degrees comma  then 30 degrees semicolon  Z
  4. 20 degrees comma  then 160 degrees semicolon  Z
  5. 135 degrees comma  then 135 degrees semicolon  Y
  6. 180 degrees comma  then 180 degrees semicolon  X

  1. In the diagram below, m prime , n prime bar  is the rotation image of m n bar  about point E. Name all pairs of congruent angles and all pairs of congruent segments in the diagram.

    Triangle MNE has vertex E at the bottom and black side MN falling down to the right at the top. Triangle M’N’E shares vertex E of the MNE, with blue side M’N’ horizontal, left of triangle MNE.

  2. Language Arts The symbol is called a schwa. It is used in dictionaries to represent neutral vowel sounds such as a in ago, i in sanity, and u in focus. What transformation maps a to a lowercase e?

Find the angle of rotation about C that maps the black figure to the blue figure.

  1. A black figure is shaped as a backwards L attached to the left side of an upside-down L with point C on its top side. A blue figure is the same shape, with point C on the bottom side of the backwards L.
  2. A black figure, up to the right of point C, is shaped like an F, with top side pointing down on the right. The same blue figure, to the left of point C, has top side pointing to the right on top.
  3. A black triangle, with point C inside, has short side horizontal on bottom with obtuse angle at the bottom right. A blue triangle, with point C inside, has short side on the left, left of vertical, and obtuse angle at the bottom left.
