Example Question #61 : Measurement And Geometry
Examine the figures in the above diagram. The figure at right is the result of performing which of the following transformations on the figure at left?
A clockwise rotation
A clockwise rotation
A counterclockwise rotation
None of the other choices gives the correct response.
A counterclockwise rotation
A clockwise rotation
Examine the figure below:
If we connect the horizontal line with the line along the rotated nine at right, we see that it is the result of a one-eighth turn clockwise; the angle between them .
Example Question #11 : Rotations
Examine the figures in the above diagram. The figure at right is the result of performing which of the following transformations on the figure at left?
A clockwise rotation
A counterclockwise rotation
A counterclockwise rotation
A rotation
A clockwise rotation
A counterclockwise rotation
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 , or .
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 clockwise rotation over the course of 12 hours, or, since one hour is equal to 60 minutes,
Therefore, over the course of 1 hour 20 minutes - which is equal to minutes - the hour hand rotates
