            Questions for Counter-clockwise Rotation:[br][br]1)  Record the coordinates for triangle ABC.  [br][br]2) Rotate triangle ABC 90 degrees counter-clockwise.  Record the new coordinates.  What happened to the x and y coordinates?  What happened to their signs?[br][br]3) With the triangle still rotated 90 degrees, look at the dotted lines.  What type of angle do the lines form?[br][br]4) Rotate the triangle ABC 180 degrees counter-clockwise.  Record the new coordinates.  Compare the coordinates to the original coordinates of triangle ABC.  Describe how the coordinates changed.[br][br]5)  With the triangle still rotated 180 degrees, look at the dotted line that connects the two triangles.  Is there an angle?  How many degrees?  What is its shape?
