Question
Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.20P
Interpretation Introduction
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether cholesterol is dextrorotatory or levorotatory needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A compound is dextrorotatory if it rotates the plane polarize light to the right or clockwise direction and it is levorotatory if the plane of polarize light rotates to left or anticlockwise.
Interpretation Introduction
(b)
Interpretation:
The specific rotation of the enantiomer of cholesterol needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Enantiomers are a part of stereoisomers. In chemistry, enantiomers are two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. Usually in a pair of enantiomers of a same compound one is dextrorotatory, while the other is levorotatory. As enantiomers have chiral centers, they are optical isomers.

So the thing is im trying to memorize VESPR Shapes in order to be able to solve problems like so, and I need help with making circles like the second image that's in blue or using an x and y axis plane in order to memorize these and be able to solve those type of problems. Especially like the ones given in the top / first image. (180 , 120 , 109.5) Can you help me with this.
