Question: H, Rotate polygon about a point, x/y
Look at this diagram:
H
T
S
U
Which diagram shows $\triangle STU$ rotated $45^\circ$ clockwise about $H$?
A diagram with a green triangle $\triangle STU$ around point $H$ and four answer choices below showing blue rotated triangles labeled $T'$, $S'$, $U'$ in different positions; the correct choice appears to be the top-right graph shape with the blue triangle to the right of $H$, so position_hint \in \{top-right\}.
1. **Problem Statement:** We need to determine which diagram shows $\triangle STU$ rotated $45^\circ$ clockwise about point $H$.
2. **Rotation Formula:** To rotate a point $(x,y)$ about another point $(h,k)$ by an angle $\theta$ clockwise, use:
$$
\begin{aligned}
x' &= h + (x - h)\cos\theta + (y - k)\sin\theta \\
y' &= k - (x - h)\sin\theta + (y - k)\cos\theta
\end{aligned}
$$
3. **Important Rules:**
- Clockwise rotation by $45^\circ$ means $\theta = 45^\circ$.
- $\cos 45^\circ = \sin 45^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
- Each vertex $S$, $T$, and $U$ is rotated individually about $H$.
4. **Applying the Rotation:**
- For each vertex $(x,y)$ of $\triangle STU$, calculate $(x',y')$ using the formula above.
- This moves the triangle $45^\circ$ clockwise around $H$.
5. **Result:**
- The rotated triangle $\triangle S'T'U'$ will appear shifted to the right of $H$.
- Among the given options, the top-right diagram correctly shows this position.
**Final answer:** The diagram in the top-right position shows $\triangle STU$ rotated $45^\circ$ clockwise about $H$.
