Completing a detail in the proof of Theorem 12.5, let G be a finite group consisting of the identity isometry and rotations about one point P in the plane. Show that G is cyclic, generated by the rotation in G that turns the plane counterclockwise about P through the smallest angle θ > 0. [Hint: Follow the idea of the proof that a subgroup of a cyclic group is cyclic]
