On the right, a parallelogram rotates around the red dot. In the figure above, the wind rotates the blades of a windmill.
A rotation is a type of rigid transformation, which means that the size and shape of the figure does not change the figures are congruent before and after the transformation. In geometry, a rotation is a type of transformation where a shape or geometric figure is turned around a fixed point.
