To find:

A. X'Y'Z' when the triangle is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

B. X'Y'Z' when the triangle is rotated 270 degrees clockwise.

C. What is the similiarity in the points from part A and part B.

Solution:

The Triangle XYZ has vertices at X(−5, −5), Y(2, 2), Z(2, −4).

A. It is known that the point (x, y) becomes (-y, x) when it is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

So, the point X(-5, -5) becomes X'(5, -5).

the point Y(2, 2) becomes Y'(-2, 2).

the point Z(2, -4) becomes Z'(4, 2)

So, the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are X'(5, -5), Y'(-2, 2), Z'(4, 2).

B. It is known that point (x, y) becomes (-y, x) when it is rotated 270 clockwise.

So, the point X(-5, -5) becomes X'(5, -5).

the point Y(2, 2) becomes Y'(-2, 2).

the point Z(2, -4) becomes Z'(4, 2)

So, the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle are X'(5, -5), Y'(-2, 2), Z'(4, 2).

C. Here, the coordinates of the triangle after rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise is same as the coordinates after rotation of 270 degrees clockwise.
