In the GeoGebra applet below:[br][br]1) Create a slider that is an angle. [br] Set Min = 0 degrees. Set Max = 360 degrees. Set Increment = 1 degree.[br][br]2) Choose the ROTATE AROUND POINT [icon]/images/ggb/toolbar/mode_rotatebyangle.png[/icon] tool. [br] Highlight a box around[b][color=#1e84cc] point [i]A[/i][/color][/b], [b][color=#1e84cc]point [i]B[/i][/color][/b], and [b]Daffy Duck's pic.[/b][br] Select [b][color=#ff7700]point [i]C[/i][/color][/b] as the point about which to rotate the items you've just selected. [br] For angle, go to the menu on the right and choose [math]\alpha[/math] (we call that symbol Alpha). [br][br]3) Select the MOVE tool. [br][br]4) Move the slider right and left. Note the [b][color=#1e84cc]images of points [i]A[/i] and [i]B[/i][/color][/b] (denoted as [i][b][color=#1e84cc]A'[/color][/b][/i] and [i][b][color=#1e84cc]B'[/color][/b][/i]). [br] Feel free to move [b][color=#1e84cc]points [i]A[/i] and [i]B[/i][/color][/b] around as well. [br][br]After doing all this, please answer the questions that appear below the applet.
[b][color=#ff7700]Let C = (0,0) be the point[/color] about which [color=#1e84cc]points [i]A[/i] and [i]B[/i] (and Daffy Duck)[/color] are rotated.
