Geometry - Seminar 7

In the following exercises, all coordinates and components are given with respect to a right-
oriented orthonormal frame K.

7.1. Consider the vector v(2, 1, 1).

a) Give the matrix form for the parallel projection on the plane π : z = 0 parallel to v.

b) Give the matrix form for the parallel reflection in the plane π : z = 0 parallel to v.

7.2. Determine the orthogonal projection of the line ℓ : 2x − y − 1 = 0 ∩ x + y − z + 1 = 0 on the plane


π : x + 2y − z = 0. Do this by determining the matrix form of the projection and discuss all other
options.

7.3. Give the matrix form for the orthogonal reflections in the planes

π1 : 3x − 4z = −1 and π2 : 10x − 2y + 3z = 4 respectively.

Determine the set of points which are fixed by the composition of these two reflections.

7.4. Let H be a hyperplane and let v be a vector which is not parallel to H. Use the deduced matrix
forms to show that

a) PrH,v ◦ PrH,v = PrH,v and

b) RefH,v ◦ RefH,v = Id.

7.5. Let φ(x) = Ax + b be an affine transformation. Give the homogenous matrix of the inverse trans-
formation φ−1 .

7.6. Let π be a plane with normal vector n and equation π : ⟨n, x⟩ = c. Show that the composition of
the orthogonal reflection in π followed by a translation with a vector v∥n is a reflection in a plane π′
and deduce an equation of π′ .

7.7. Show that after a homothety with factor λ the area of any triangle changes by a factor of λ2 and
the volume of any tetrahedron changes by a factor of |λ|3 .
