Which option rotates the square 90 degrees (one quarter turn) clockwise?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer is the first option on the left (which is already selected)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To solve this problem, we need to understand what happens to a shape when it is rotated 90 degrees clockwise<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the original image, the black circle is located in the top right corner<\/strong> of the square. When we rotate the square 90 degrees clockwise<\/strong>, every point on the square moves one quarter turn to the right:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The top right<\/strong> corner becomes the bottom right<\/strong> corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The bottom right<\/strong> becomes the bottom left<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The bottom left<\/strong> becomes the top left<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The top left<\/strong> becomes the top right<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    So, the black circle that was originally in the top right<\/strong> will move to the bottom right<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s now examine the four options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. First option (leftmost)<\/strong> \u2013 The black circle is in the bottom right corner<\/strong>. \u2705 This is exactly where it should be after a 90-degree clockwise rotation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Second option<\/strong> \u2013 The black circle is in the top left corner<\/strong>, which would correspond to a 90-degree counterclockwise<\/strong> rotation, so \u274c.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Third option<\/strong> \u2013 The black circle is still in the top right<\/strong>, which means there\u2019s no rotation<\/strong> at all, so \u274c.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Fourth option<\/strong> \u2013 The black circle is in the bottom left<\/strong>, which would result from a 180-degree<\/strong> rotation, so \u274c.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      When rotating a shape 90 degrees clockwise, all positions move one corner over in the direction of a clock\u2019s movement. Thus, the top right corner becomes the bottom right. Therefore, the first option<\/strong> correctly shows the rotated shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
