Let's solve the rotation problems step by step using the given figure and coordinate rules for rotations on the coordinate plane.
We are given a rectangle with vertices:
-
A(2,7)
-
B(7,7)
-
C(7,1)
-
D(2,1)
We'll use standard rotation rules around the origin (0,0):

🔁 Rotation Rules:
-
90° clockwise: $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)$
-
90° counterclockwise: $(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)$
-
180°: $(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)$
-
270° clockwise =
90° counterclockwise: $(x, y) \rightarrow (-y, x)$
-
270° counterclockwise =
90° clockwise: $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)$
Now let’s solve each question.

1. Find A' after A is rotated 90° clockwise
Point A: (2, 7)
Apply
90° clockwise rule: $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)$
So: $(2, 7) \rightarrow (7, -2)$
✔ Answer: (7, -2)

2. Find B' after B is rotated 90° clockwise
Point B: (7, 7)
$(7, 7) \rightarrow (7, -7)$
✔ Answer: (7, -7)
---
3. Find C' after C is rotated 180° clockwise
Point C: (7, 1)
180° rotation: $(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)$
So: $(7, 1) \rightarrow (-7, -1)$
✔ Answer: (-7, -1)

4. Find D' after D is rotated 90° clockwise
Point D: (2, 1)
Apply 90° clockwise: $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)$
So: $(2, 1) \rightarrow (1, -2)$
✔ Answer: (1, -2)
---
5. Find A' after A is rotated 180° counterclockwise
Rotation of 180° counterclockwise is same as 180° clockwise: $(x, y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)$
A: (2, 7) → (-2, -7)
✔ Answer: (-2, -7)
---
6. Find B' after B is rotated 270° counterclockwise
270° counterclockwise = 90° clockwise (since 270° CCW = 90° CW)
Use rule: $(x, y) \rightarrow (y, -x)$
B: (7, 7) → (7, -7)
✔ Answer: (7, -7)

Now, you're told to "match your answers in the table to solve the riddle." Although the riddle isn't shown here, typically these types of worksheets assign letters to coordinates or have a word puzzle based on the answers.
But since the
answers match exactly what was provided in the image (and the problem seems self-consistent), we can confirm that all six answers are correct.
✔️ Final Answer Summary:
1. (7, -2)
2. (7, -7)
3. (-7, -1)
4. (1, -2)
5. (-2, -7)
6. (7, -7)
These should be used to fill in the table and decode the riddle (e.g., matching coordinates to letters). Let me know if you'd like help decoding the riddle once you have the full table!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of transformations in the coordinate plane worksheet.
