AMC 12 2020a Problem 20
- Paper
Let be the triangle in the coordinate plane with vertices , , and . Consider the following five isometries (rigid transformations) of the plane: rotations of , , and counterclockwise around the origin, reflection across the -axis, and reflection across the -axis. How many of the sequences of three of these transformations (not necessarily distinct) will return to its original position? (For example, a rotation, followed by a reflection across the -axis, followed by a reflection across the -axis will return to its original position, but a rotation, followed by a reflection across the -axis, followed by another reflection across the -axis will not return to its original position.)
