Question: Rotations Let R be a rotation by 0 < < 360 degrees around a point O on E 2 or H 2 . Prove that

  1. Rotations
  2. Let R be a rotation by 0 < < 360 degrees around a point O on E2 or H2.
  3. Prove that O is the only fixed point of R, that is, the only point that R takes to itself.
  4. Warning: 180 degrees is a special case.
  5. What happens on S2? Be as explicit as possible.
  6. Why doesn't your proof from part (a) work here?

E2 = Euclidean Plane

H2 = Hyperbolic Plane

S2= Sphere
