Yes. For example, any triangle, including a scalene triangle, will tessellate.

What is a basic design element in a tessellation?

The work "tessellation" is derived from a tessella, a small cuboid clay tile which was used to make mosaics. In the context of tessellation, as the term is used in modern geometry, the basic element is a plane shape such that multiple copies of the shape will cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.


Could a tessellation work without a non-semetrical shape?

Assuming that you mean non-symmetrical, the answer is yes.


Which shape was merged to create this tessellation?

Why do tessellations have to be used with only polygons?

All shapes have to be polygons, because there is no shape that has 1 or 2 sides. A tessellation has to be a shape, so that it can be repeated. Its not going to be much of a tessellation if its a line.. lol.. that isn't a tessellation


What shape was merged to form the tessellation?

equilateral triangle


What are the tessellation units?

Tessellation is using multiple copies of a shape, usually a polygon, to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps. Each copy of this single shape is a tessellating unit.


Is a pentagon a tessellation?

No a pentagon is a single polygonal shape, A tessellation is a scheme for covering a plane, without gaps of overlaps, using multiple copies of the same basic shape. These are usually polygons.


What is the difference between a semi regular and a regular tessellation?

A regular tessellation is based on only one regular polygonal shape. A semi-regular tessellation is based on two or more regular polygons.


Show you a Picture of a tessellation?

A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps.


What shape will create a tessellation using only translations?

regular hexagon


How many pentagons tessellate to make a 3d shape?

Tessellation is covering a 2-d surface. Tessellation and making a 3-d shape are not compatible processes. 12 regular pentagons will form a dodecahedron.
