Q

10.6 Rotation

A

Turning and object around a point (centre of rotation):
We can rotate by any angle, in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. The distance from the centre to any point on theshapestays the same.

Q

10.7 Enlargement

A

Make a shape bigger or smaller. All sides of the original shape are multiplied by the same scale factor (multiplier). Each point is enlarged from a centre point, controlling where the image ends up.
