HELP PLEASE WILL MEDAL AND FAN Identify the image of triangle XYZ for a composition of two 90 degree rotations about point X

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

I think it's C

hero (hero):

If you rotate an object 90 degrees TWICE about a point, how many total degrees has the object rotated?

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

180 degrees

hero (hero):

So what do you already know about "180 degrees"?

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

What do you mean? Like, where would the each angle be after rotation?

hero (hero):

FROM GEOMETRY, if you say that the angle created from rotating an object is 180 degrees, what is created as a result?

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

Well, I know it's called a reflex angle?

hero (hero):

How about a straight line? The measure of the angle created by a straight line is 180 degrees, right?

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

Oh yes, sorry

hero (hero):

Okay, so now, looking back at the answer choices, which one of the choices represents a straight line created as a result of rotating the object 180 degrees?

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

A?

hero (hero):

you're guessing. The straight line that is created goes through the point the object is being rotated about.

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

Okay, it's being rotated about point X. And answer b is showing that if I'm not mistaken

hero (hero):

Correct.

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

Okay, so my answer is B?

hero (hero):

Yes

OpenStudy (helppleasethanks11):

Thank you

hero (hero):
