Symmetries of a regular tetrahedron

1k Views Asked by At

Let $G$ be the group of symmetries of a regular tetrahedron $T$, including orientation-reversing symmetries.

(a) Decompose the set of faces of $T$ into orbits, and describe the stabiliser of a face.

I need help with the first part of the question.

I think the stabiliser of a face corresponds to the dihedral group $D_3$

(b) Determine the order of G

It is $12$
