A rotation can change the figure’s location but not its shape or the number of sides.
Solución
- A rotation is a rigid motion which means it preserves the shape and size of the figure.
- Therefore, the figure’s shape remains unchanged.
- Since it is a rigid motion, the number of sides of a polygon (if the figure is a polygon) will also remain unchanged.
- However, the figure’s location can be altered depending on the center of rotation.
Thus, a rotation can change the figure’s
but not its
or the

Beyond the Answer
A rotation of a figure changes its location in space but keeps the shape and the number of sides intact. Think of it like spinning a pizza! The toppings (or shape) don’t get rearranged, and the pizza still has the same number of slices (sides), but it’s definitely not in the same spot on the table after the spin.
If you’re drawing or visualizing shapes, remember this: When you rotate something, it can look completely different from one angle but it remains purely the same in terms of dimensions and characteristics. So, keep spinning those shapes without worrying about them losing their unique traits!
