Exercise 6 Page 204

Begin with a rotation.

180^(∘) rotation about the origin

Practice makes perfect
The quadrilaterals have different orientations and locations. In PQRS, vertex R is the bottom right vertex. In WXYZ, the corresponding vertex Y, is the top left vertex. To line up their orientations, we can rotate PQRS about the origin 180^(∘).

Therefore, by only one transformation, we can map PQRS onto WXYZ. Rotation:& 180^(∘) rotation about the origin
