Example Question #1 : Rotations
Between 6:15 and 6:40, the minute hand of a clock undergoes which of the following clockwise rotations?
Between 6:15 and 6:40,
minutes elapse.
The minute hand of a clock rotates one complete 
Example Question #21 : Understand Transformations In The Plane
Over the course of 20 minutes, the hour hand of a clock undergoes which of the following rotations?
The hour hand of a clock makes one complete 
minutes.
Therefore, over the course of 20 minutes, the hour hand rotates
Example Question #1 : Rotations
Over the course of one minute and forty seconds, the minute hand of a clock undergoes which of the following clockwise rotations?
The minute hand of a clock rotates one complete 
Over the course of 1 minute 40 seconds - or, since one minute is equal to 60 seconds,

Examine the figure below.
If we connect the horizontal line with the line along the rotated "omega" at right, we see that it is the result of a one-sixth turn counterclockwise; the angle between them is one sixth of 
Example Question #13 : Rotations
Over the course of one hour and twenty minutes, the hour hand of a clock undergoes which of the following clockwise rotations?
The hour hand of a clock makes one complete
Therefore, over the course of 1 hour 20 minutes - which is equal to 
Example Question #1 : Dilations
On the above right triangle perform a dilation of scale factor 
Which of the following correctly shows 
The circumcenter of a triangle can be located by finding the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the three sides of the triangle. The perpendicular bisectors are shown below, with point of intersection 
It can be seen that, as is characteristic of a right triangle, this point is the midpoint of the hypotenuse. Construct
