Reason: Linear algebra building block: plane rotations and their compositions preserve the dot product and orthonormality.

Statement

Let nn be a natural number with n2n\ge2 and let gg be a plane rotation of the Euclidean space Rn\mathbb{R}^{n}. Then for all u,vRnu,v\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, with the dot product,

g(v)g(u)=vu.g(v)\cdot g(u)=v\cdot u .

Consequently, every finite composition of plane rotations hh satisfies h(v)h(u)=vuh(v)\cdot h(u)=v\cdot u for all u,vu,v, and hh maps every orthonormal family to an orthonormal family.
