Question

Two triangles touch the rays of a right angle labeled p. Vertex A of triangle A B C touches the right ray of angle p. Vertex A prime of triangle A prime B prime C prime touches the left ray of angle p. The rays are drawn with dotted lines.

A triangle is rotated about P
in the diagram. Complete the sentence to accurately describe the degree of rotation in both directions. Recall that clockwise rotations are written with a negative degree.

(1 point)
The triangle is rotated

Answer 1

To accurately describe the degree of rotation for the two triangles about point P, we need to establish the directions of rotation based on their placement relative to the right angle.

Assuming triangle ABC touches the right ray of angle p, we can infer its position and potential rotational movement. The triangle A'B'C' touches the left ray.

1. For the triangle ABC touching the right ray, a counterclockwise rotation would move it away from the right ray and further toward the left side.
2. For the triangle A'B'C' touching the left ray, a clockwise rotation would bring it closer to the right ray.

Since you have not provided specific degree measurements, I'll use general terms instead.

Thus, the completion could be: The triangle is rotated X° counterclockwise about P or -Y° clockwise about P.

Here, X and Y would represent the specific degrees of rotation for each triangle, which can be specified based on the placement or additional context given in the image. If you have that information, you can replace X and Y accordingly.
