Question

This is such an intriguing visual example of geometric transformations! What you’re looking at is the movement of two rectangles on a coordinate plane. The orange rectangle (labeled A, B, C, D) and the blue rectangle (labeled A’, B’, C’, D’) share interesting relationships, hinting at transformations like translations or reflections.

It looks like rectangle A’B’C’D’ has shifted right and vertically stretched when compared to rectangle ABCD.Identify the degree of rotation in both directions for the pictured rectangle, centered about the point (1,0)
. Recall that clockwise rotations are denoted with a negative degree.

(1 point)
The quadrilateral is rotated
°
counterclockwise or

To determine the degree of rotation for rectangle A'B'C'D' relative to rectangle ABCD, you will need to consider the positions of the corresponding points after the transformation.

1. **Identify the original position of rectangle ABCD**: Note the coordinates of points A, B, C, and D.

2. **Identify the new position of rectangle A'B'C'D'**: Likewise, note the coordinates of points A’, B’, C’, and D’.

3. **Find the center of rotation**: In this case, it is given that the center of rotation is at the point (1,0).

4. **Compute the angle of rotation for one of the points**: For example, take point A and see how it is positioned relative to (1,0) before and after the rotation.

5. **Determine rotation direction and angle**:
- If the new position of the point is effectively in a direction that would require you to turn counterclockwise from the original position, note the positive degree value.
- Conversely, a clockwise rotation will be a negative degree value.

Without specific coordinates of the rectangles, I can't calculate the exact degree of the rotation or specify if it is clockwise or counterclockwise. Please provide coordinates for a more accurate calculation or visual description!
