California Standards for Geometry16: Perform basic constructions17: Prove theorems using coordinate geometry22: Know the effect of rigid motions on figures in the coordinate plane.
Properties of a Rotation• Rotation
– Transformation in which a figure is turned about a fixed point called the CENTER OF ROTATION.– Rays drawn from the center of rotation to a point and its image form the ANGLE OF ROTATION.– Rotations can be clockwise or counterclockwise.

Rotation Theorem A rotation is an isometry
to prove this theorem, you must show that a rotation keeps segment lengths from the
preimage to the image
this means that AB = A’B’

theorem• Reflection-Rotation Theorem
If two lines intersect, then a reflection in the first linefollowed by a reflection in the second line is the sameas a rotation about the point of intersection.

• Reflection-Rotation TheoremThe angle of rotation is 2xo, where xo is the measure of the acute or right angle formed by the two lines.
