Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that is a right triangle where its hypotenuse is
. We can also see that
. For this we must use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Recall:
The Pythagorean Theorem states that if you have a right triangle, the principal square root of the sum of the squares of each leg is the length the hypotenuse.
We can see that and
<u>Given</u>:
The coordinates of the points A, B and C are (3,4), (4,3) and (2,1)
The points are rotated 90° about the origin.
We need to determine the coordinates of the point C'.
<u>Coordinates of the point C':</u>
The general rule to rotate the point 90° about the origin is given by
Substituting the coordinates of the point C in the above formula, we get;
Therefore, the coordinates of the point C' is (-1,2)
