* "Transformations - Rotations"

When drawing rotations we turn our papers so that it can be easier for us to plot our coordinate points. This is predicting where and how the figure is going to be because you will get a visual when you flipped the paper. A rotated figure will NEVER change in shaper or size. It will only change its position and location. A rotated figure is different from a reflection because a reflection has the same distance apart. However, in a rotation the figure rotates around the center, the original and prime figure does not have the same distance apart. If we rotate a figure 90 degrees clockwise and the then rotate it again 90 degrees counterclockwise the figure will end up in the same location you started in. This will also happen if you rotate a figure 360 degrees counterclockwise. The difference between rotating a figure clockwise and counterclockwise is that when you're rotating a figure clockwise the figure will be going right. When you rotate a figure counterclockwise the figure will go left.
