Exercise 3

Avg difficulty 3.0
  • The proof that a map that is distance-preserving and sends the zero vector to itself incidentally shows that such a map is one-to-one and onto (the point in the domain determined by d0d_{0}, d1d_{1}, and d2d_{2} corresponds to the point in the codomain determined by those three). Therefore any distance-preserving map has an inverse. Show that the inverse is also distance-preserving.

  • Prove that congruence is an equivalence relation between plane figures.
