The true statements are

A. a rotation of 120° around the center, point d

B. a reflection across line c, through the midpoints of opposite sides

D. a reflection across line b, through one vertex, the center d

E. a rotation of 60° around the center, point d

What is rotation and reflection as used in transformation

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation

A rotation in steps of 60 degrees (60 120, 180...) about the center will carry the figure onto itself. This is achieved using the concept of rotational symmetry

A reflection is a transformation that flips a figure over a line called the line of reflection or mirror line.

Reflection alone the lines of symmetry will also carry the image onto itself
