rotation 0, and forming an angle^1 / 2181 (Fig. 5.12), z being on the bisector
of the angle.
Also, a homotecy w = Rz is equivalent to the product of two symmetries
(inversions) with respect to two concentric circles with center at 0 and
radii r 1 , r 2 such that rz/r 1 = R^112 (Fig. 5.13). Summing up, we see that
