Pinwheel: The pinwheel in Fig. 5.1.11 is obtained from the r-shape (Fig. 5.1.6) by a shear transformation of - 1 units in the y-direction followed by a succession of \(30^{\circ}\) rotations. (We are assuming that each successive transformation leaves a "print" so that the end result is the pinwheel shown.)

(a) Determine the matrix for the shear transformation and the number n of successive rotations required to complete the pinwheel.

(b) Is it true that \(\left(R_{30 \text { degrees }}\right)^{n}=I\) for some n? Explain.
