To determine the degree of rotation of the rectangle about the point (1, 0), you would typically start by analyzing its orientation in relation to the center of rotation and any reference axes (like the x-axis or y-axis).

Here’s how you can approach this problem conceptually:

  1. Identify the Initial Position: Observe the original position of the rectangle before it was rotated. Mark the positions of the vertices.

  2. Determine the Final Position: Look at the orientation of the rectangle after it has been rotated.

  3. Calculate the Angle of Rotation:

    • For clockwise rotations, the angle is considered negative.
    • For counterclockwise rotations, the angle is positive.

If, for example, you found that the rectangle has been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, you would state the answer as:

  • The quadrilateral is rotated 90° counterclockwise or -270° clockwise.

You can use similar reasoning to arrive at the appropriate degrees of rotation based on the specific orientation of the rectangle in the image. If there’s a particular angle of rotation visible in the image and you can identify that, you would replace the placeholders with those specific values to complete your answer.
