Answer 1

To answer the question accurately, I would need to see the image you're referring to that shows the triangle and point P. Since I can't view images, you might want to rotate the triangle in both directions about point P and measure the degrees of rotation.

Here’s how to format your answer based on your findings:

• Measure the angle of rotation counterclockwise from the original position to its new position; this will give you the counterclockwise rotation in degrees.
• Measure the angle of rotation clockwise as well; this will provide the clockwise rotation in degrees. Remember to use a negative sign for the clockwise rotation.

Once you have those measurements, you can fill in the blanks as required. For example:

The triangle is rotated ___° counterclockwise about P or ___° clockwise about P.

Replace the blanks with the degree measurements you obtained.
