Problem Description:

The task involves performing rotations of geometric shapes about the origin on a coordinate grid. The rotations are specified as either 180° or 90° (either clockwise or counterclockwise). We need to solve each rotation step by step.

Key Concepts:

1. Rotation Rules:
- 180° Rotation About the Origin:
For any point \((x, y)\), the new coordinates after a 180° rotation are \((-x, -y)\).
- 90° Counterclockwise (ccw) Rotation About the Origin:
For any point \((x, y)\), the new coordinates after a 90° ccw rotation are \((-y, x)\).
- 90° Clockwise Rotation About the Origin:
For any point \((x, y)\), the new coordinates after a 90° clockwise rotation are \((y, -x)\).

2. Steps:
- Identify the original coordinates of the vertices of the shape.
- Apply the appropriate rotation rule to each vertex.
- Plot the new coordinates on the grid to form the rotated shape.
