    Triangle XYZ has vertices X(1, 1), Y(4, 1) and Z(1, 3). Triangle X'Y'Z' is the image of XYZ under a rotation of 180 degrees about the point (2, 2).
    (a)
    Find the coordinates of X', Y' and Z'.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Triangle X'Y'Z' is then reflected in the line x = 2 to give triangle X''Y''Z''. Find the coordinates of X'', Y'' and Z''.
