10. In ?ABC, suppose the perpendicular bisector of AB is line L1?, the perpendicular bisector of BC is line L2? and the perpendicular 5 bisector of AC is line L3?. Show that the composition ML3???ML2???ML1?? gives the single reflection in line AO where O is the circumcenter of the triangle. [Hint: Use one of the results we saw in class about compositions of reflections. Find two points fixed by the compositionlook amongst the vertices and O.] Bonus: Given three concurrent lines L1?,L2? and L3?, construct a triangle ?ABC that has the three lines as the perpendicular bisectors of its sides. This means you should give an algorithm for locating the vertices of the triangle in terms of the lines.
