GCSE Maths Practice: transformations

Question 10 of 10

Identify which properties are preserved under rotation.

‹

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which properties are preserved when a shape is rotated?}\end{array} \)

Select all correct options:

\( \text{Shape} \) \( \text{Size} \) \( \text{Angle measures} \) \( \text{Orientation} \)

Check which aspects of the shape remain constant after rotation.

Rotations turn a shape around a fixed point by a given angle. Rotations preserve the shape, size, and all angles of a figure but generally change its orientation unless rotated by 360°. Recognizing preserved properties helps in geometric proofs, coordinate transformations, and composite transformations. Practice rotating shapes on grids to observe which attributes remain unchanged. Understanding this is essential for solving problems on symmetry, rotations, and congruence.
