Definition:Symmetry Group of Isosceles Triangle

Group Example

Let $\triangle ABC$ be an isosceles triangle whose apex is $A$.

The symmetry mappings of $\triangle ABC$ are:

the identity mapping $e$

the reflection $d$ in the line through $A$ and the midpoint of $BC$.

This group is known as the symmetry group of the isosceles triangle.
