The dihedral group $D_3$ is the symmetry group of the equilateral triangle:
Let $\triangle ABC$ be an equilateral triangle.
We define in cycle notation the following symmetries on $\triangle ABC$:
\(\ds e\) | \(:\) | \(\ds \tuple A \tuple B \tuple C\) | Identity mapping | |||||||||||
\(\ds p\) | \(:\) | \(\ds \tuple {ABC}\) | Rotation of $120 \degrees$ anticlockwise about center | |||||||||||
\(\ds q\) | \(:\) | \(\ds \tuple {ACB}\) | Rotation of $120 \degrees$ clockwise about center | |||||||||||
\(\ds r\) | \(:\) | \(\ds \tuple {BC}\) | Reflection in line $r$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds s\) | \(:\) | \(\ds \tuple {AC}\) | Reflection in line $s$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds t\) | \(:\) | \(\ds \tuple {AB}\) | Reflection in line $t$ |
Note that $r, s, t$ can equally well be considered as a rotation of $180 \degrees$ (in $3$ dimensions) about the axes $r, s, t$.
Then these six operations form a group.
This group is known as the symmetry group of the equilateral triangle.
