If you name the verticies of the four rectangles A, B, C, and D.

The rectangle would appear thus: R0 MA453Fall2008walther.png

The rectangle would have four transformations:

Rotation of 0º (or 360º) : $ R_{0} $

Rotation of 180º: $ R_{180} $

R180 MA453Fall2008walther.png


Flip About a Horizontal Axis: $ H $

H MA453Fall2008walther.png


Flip About a Vertical Axis: $ V $

V MA453Fall2008walther.png

From this, the Cayley table can easily be constructed.
