If a figure is in quadrant 4 and is rotated clockwise to quadrant 3, how many degrees has it been rotated?

A. -270 degrees
B. 90 degrees
C. 180 degrees
D. -90 degrees

Respuesta :

The figure has been rotated -90 degrees ⇒ answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rotation anticlockwise with angle Ф, means Ф is a positive angle

The Rotation clockwise with angle Ф, means Ф is a negative angle

A figure is drawn in the first quadrant

  • If is rotated 90° (-270°), then its image lies in the second quadrant
  • If is rotated 180° (-180°), then its image lies in the third quadrant
  • If is rotated 270° (-90°), then its image lie in the fourth quadrant

∵ The figure is in the quadrant 4

∵ The figure is rotated clockwise to quadrant 3

- Clockwise means negative angle

∵ Quadrant 3 is adjacent to quadrant 4

∴ The angle of rotation is -90°

The figure has been rotated -90 degrees
