The diagram shows triangles A and B. [Figure 22.1]

  1. (a)Describe fully the single transformation that maps triangle A onto triangle B.[2]
  2. (b)Triangle A is mapped onto triangle C by a rotation, through 90° clockwise, centre (0, 0). Draw, and label, triangle C on the diagram.[2]
  3. (c)Triangle B is mapped onto triangle C by the transformation T. Find the matrix that represents the transformation T.[1]

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.
