Model Answer: Parallel vs Perspective Projection and Triangle Rotation

Part 1: Parallel vs Perspective Projection

Part 2: Rotation of Triangle 30° CCW about Pivot (5,3)

Given data:

• Vertices: $A(5,7)$, $B(12,85)$, $C(5,3)$
• Angle: $\theta = 30^\circ$ counterclockwise
• Pivot: $P(p_x,p_y) = (5,3)$

Rotation about a pivot: $$x' = p_x + (x-p_x)\cos\theta - (y-p_y)\sin\theta$$ $$y' = p_y + (x-p_x)\sin\theta + (y-p_y)\cos\theta$$

Trig values: $\cos 30^\circ = 0.8660$, $\sin 30^\circ = 0.5$

Vertex A(5,7): $\Delta x = 0,\ \Delta y = 4$ $$x'_A = 5 + (0)(0.866) - (4)(0.5) = 5 - 2 = 3$$ $$y'_A = 3 + (0)(0.5) + (4)(0.866) = 3 + 3.464 = 6.464$$ $$A' = (3,\ 6.464)$$

Vertex B(12,85): $\Delta x = 7,\ \Delta y = 82$ $$x'_B = 5 + (7)(0.866) - (82)(0.5) = 5 + 6.062 - 41 = -29.938$$ $$y'_B = 3 + (7)(0.5) + (82)(0.866) = 3 + 3.5 + 71.012 = 77.512$$ $$B' = (-29.938,\ 77.512)$$

Vertex C(5,3): $\Delta x = 0,\ \Delta y = 0$ (this is the pivot) $$x'_C = 5 + 0 - 0 = 5,\quad y'_C = 3 + 0 + 0 = 3$$ $$C' = (5,\ 3)$$

Final Result:

• $A' \approx (3.00,\ 6.46)$
• $B' \approx (-29.94,\ 77.51)$
• $C' = (5,\ 3)$

(Note: vertex B(12,85) appears unusually large for a triangle, but the computation follows the given data exactly.)
