Center of Rotation: What is meant by the "center of rotation," and how does it affect the outcome of a rotation?
-
Degrees of Rotation: If a triangle is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin, what will be the new coordinates of the point (3, 4)?
-
Clockwise vs. Counterclockwise: How do clockwise and counterclockwise rotations differ, and how are they designated in mathematical notation?
