Begin by drawing a segment between the point of rotation and one of the vertices. Also, notice that in this exercise the center of rotation is one of the vertices of the given figure.
To draw a rotation of a figure about point K, we need to follow a few steps.
Let's draw the rotation of the given figure!
Notice that in this case point K is one of the vertices of the given figure. Therefore, the image and the preimage are the same for point K. Let's begin by drawing a segment from R to K.
Now we will draw the angle of rotation. In this case, it is 260∘. Since it is greater than 180, we cannot do it immediately with a protractor. Let's extend KR first. This gives us a 180∘ angle.
Finally, we will use a ruler to draw the image of R. We will measure KR, then draw KR′ such that KR′=KR.
We repeat Steps 1-3 for the remaining vertices.
Finally, we can connect the points to form the rotated image.
