Two mirror lines cross at a point OO at an angle of 30∘30^\circ. A shape is reflected in the first line and then in the second. The result is a rotation about OO. By how many degrees?

In the Lean file, IsIsometry f means that f keeps all distances, and g ∘ f means “first f, then g”. Which statement says that the composite of two rigid motions is a rigid motion?

StretchComputational

Points are pairs (x, y). Complete then(f, g) so that it returns a new function that applies f first and then g. Use it to check that reflecting in the xx-axis and then in the line y=xy = x is the rotation by 90∘90^\circ, and that the other order is not.
