By the end of our discussion, we want you to feel confident when asked to rotate different shapes and coordinates! What Is a 180 Degree Rotation?
We’ll be working with a reference point to extend our understanding to rotating figures on the Cartesian plane. In this article, we want you to understand what makes this transformation unique, its fundamentals, and understand the two important methods we can use to rotate a figure 180 degrees (in either direction). Knowing how to apply this rotation inside and outside the Cartesian plane will open a wide range of applications in geometry, particularly when graphing more complex functions. The 180-degree rotation (both clockwise and counterclockwise) is one of the simplest and most used transformations in geometry.
