    Triangle DEF has vertices D(2,1), E(5,1), F(2,4). Triangle DEF is rotated 90° clockwise about the origin to form triangle D'E'F'.
    (a)
    Find the coordinates of D' and E' after this rotation.
    [3 marks]
    (b)

    Shape S has vertices at (1,1), (3,1) and (1,4). Shape S is enlarged by scale factor 2, centre (0,0), to form shape T. Shape T is then translated by vector (−21)\begin{pmatrix}-2\\1\end{pmatrix} to form shape U.
    (a)
    Find the coordinates of the vertices of shape T.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Find the coordinates of the vertices of shape U.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    Calculate the area of shape S, then use the properties of enlargement and translation to find the area of shape U, explaining your reasoning.
