  • The two homework questions given out in class!
    Get the notes from a classmate if you missed Thursday's lecture.
  • Let ABC be a triangle in the euclidean plane.
    We've sen in class that the composition [CA][BC][AB] is a glide.
    Here [AB] denotes reflection in the unique line [AB] which contains vertices A and B,
    and [BC] and [CA] are similarly defined.
    Show that the axis of this glide always contians the foot of the altitude (perpendicular)
    from B to the line [AC] and the foot of the altitude from C to the line [AB].
  • Let l and m be parallel lines. Describe all the isometries you obtain
    by taking composites of l and m. Your sequences of composities can be as long
    as you like: eg lmlmlmlm etc.
