The figure below shows line with a regular, infinite, recurring pattern of squares and line segments.
Search

How many of the following four kinds of rigid motion transformations of the plane in which this figure is
drawn, other than the identity transformation, will transform this figure into itself?
some rotation around a point of line
some translation in the direction parallel to line
the reflection across line
some reflection across a line perpendicular to line

Solution
Statement is true. A rotation about the point half way between an up-facing square and a down-
facing square will yield the same figure.
Statement is also true. A translation to the left or right will place the image onto itself when the figures
above and below the line realign (the figure goes on infinitely in both directions).
Statement is false. A reflection across line will change the up-facing squares to down-facing squares
and vice versa.
Finally, statement is also false because it will cause the diagonal lines extending from the squares to
switch direction. Thus, only statements are true.
