GCSE Maths Practice: transformations

Question 2 of 10

Understand the degrees in a full rotation.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{How many degrees are there in a full turn?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Remember: full rotation = 360°.

Rotations turn a shape around a fixed point. A complete turn corresponds to 360°. Knowing the total degrees in a full turn helps to calculate angles for partial rotations, e.g., 90° quarter turn or 180° half turn. Rotations preserve shape and size but change orientation. Applying rotations on grid paper or coordinate planes improves accuracy. Practice by rotating different shapes and measuring angles to strengthen understanding of rotational symmetry and transformations.
