Paper 2, Section ,
Let and be two rotations of the Euclidean plane about centres and respectively. Show that the conjugate is also a rotation and find its fixed point. When do and commute? Show that the commutator is a translation.
Deduce that any group of orientation-preserving isometries of the Euclidean plane either fixes a point or is infinite.
