Exercise 11 Page 564

To rotate the figure 180^(∘) counterclockwise about the origin, focus its vertices and rotate each vertex.

Practice makes perfect

To rotate the figure 180^(∘) counterclockwise about P, we will pay close attention to its vertices.

We will begin by rotating vertex R. To do so, we will first draw a segment from R to P. Then, we will draw another segment from P to the image of R such that they are congruent and they form a straight angle.

Similarly, we will rotate the other vertices.

Finally, we will connect the rotated vertices to draw the image.
