On , each is reflection in the line . The product of two plane reflections is a rotation. If is the oriented angle from to , thenrotates through modulo .
If this rotation has order , conjugation by either reflection inverts it. Henceis a dihedral group, with rotational subgroup .
For the simple-root angles from part ii, the rotation orders and Weyl groups areThese are the rank-two Weyl groups.
