Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1E
To determine
To Describe:Each symmetry in D3.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given: An equilateral
Calculation:
Three rotations at 0, 120 and 240 gives the symmetric in an equilateral triangle and also flips over three different axes (vertex) at the midpoint of the opposite side gives the symmetric in an equilateral triangle. So total there are six symmetries in equilateral triangle.
The three rotations at 0, 120 and 240 which gives the symmetric are:
The three symmetries obtain by flips over three different axes are -
Thus, there are six symmetries in equilateral triangle.
