Question

a triangle is rotated about p in the diagram. complete the sentence to accurately describe the degree of rotation in both directions. recall that clockwise rotations are written with a negative degree. (1 point) the triangle is rotated 90° counterclockwise about p or ° clockwise about p.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rotation property

The sum of clock - wise and counter - clockwise rotation angles about a point for a full turn is 360°.

Step2: Calculate clockwise angle

If the counter - clockwise rotation is 90°, then the clockwise rotation $\theta$ can be found using the equation $90+\theta = 360$. Solving for $\theta$, we get $\theta=360 - 90$.
$360-90 = 270$.

Answer:

270
