Answer:
The rotated figure appears in the 3rd quadrant
Step-by-step explanation:
To visualize a problem can sometimes be challenging.
It usually helps to make a sketch of the situation, to get a "feel" it of what is happening.
Supose a little cube is placed on the x axis, in quadrant 1, starting at ( 1. 0), and with size 1 unit.
Corner coordinates are therefore:
A =( 1, 0)
B =( 2, 0)
C =( 2, 1)
D =( 1, 1)
Rotate for 180 degrees about the origen (EXTRA: a ounterclockwise rotation over 180° is exactly the same as a clockwise rotation over 180°).
The new coordinates are:
A' =(-1, 0)
B' =(-2, 0)
C' =(-2 -1)
D' =(-1, -1)
These are all in third quadrant.
Therefore, the rotated figure appears in the 3rd quadrant
