What is the difference of rotating a figure 180 counterclockwise or clockwise?
We turn our papers when rotating because it will give us a better understanding or idea of where our rotated figure is going to be. This is predicting where the rotation will turn out because it is telling you how many degrees to go. A rotated figure does not change its size and its shape it only changes its location depending on how many degrees and if it is going clockwise or counterclockwise. Rotated figure is different from a reflected figure because the reflected figure either reflects over the x-axis or y-axis and rotation just rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. If you rotate and figure 90 degrees clockwise then 90 degrees counterclock wise one of the figures will be in quadrant two and another in quadrant three. If yo rotate a figure 360 degrees counterclockwise it will be back where it started. The difference between 180 degrees clockwise and counterclockwiseis that it is going to be on opposite location
