You did not specify whether the rotation is counter-clockwise or clockwise, so since 45° is positive, I'll assume it is a counter-clockwise rotation. The formulas are x' = x∙cos(θ) - y∙sin(θ) y' = x∙sin(θ) + y∙cos(θ) I'll let you do all the substitutions. Here's how the new triangle looks, (in green). Edwin
