The C3 root system consists of ±2ei​ and ±ei​±ej​ in R3. Its Weyl group is the signed symmetric group on three coordinates, of order 48. The reflecting planes are xi​=0 and xi​=±xj​. The open Weyl chamber x1​>x2​>x3​>0 has closure generated by (1,0,0), (1,1,0) and (1,1,1). Sign choices and absolute-coordinate orderings give its 48 translates. On the unit sphere the chamber is a spherical triangle with angles π/2, π/3, π/4, and hence area π/12; the areas of all 48 triangles sum to 4π.
