Important Facts about 3-Space:
(More may be added soon)
- Given two points A and B, the set of points P equidistant from A and B form
a plane through the midpoint of AB and perpendicular to line AB. We call
this the perpendicular bisecting plane of AB.
- Given a plane p and a point A, the reflection of A in p is the point A'
so that p is the perpendicular bisecting plane of AA'. In other words, AA'
is perpendicular to p and intersects AA' at its midpoint. Reflection in p
is an isometry of 3-space.
- A figure S in space has p as a plane of symmetry if the reflection of S
in p is again S.
