A section of tessellated plane is shown which type of symmetry does the tessellated plane have?
a
What does it mean when a figure tessellated?
A chessboard is tessellated, so I assume it is a figure that is checkered.
Can a pentagon be tessellated?
No
Can a regular pentagon be tessellated?
No.
Can a triangle be tessellated?
Yes
Can triangles be tessellated?
Yes
Can a regular octagon be tessellated?
no it cant be unless you use pentagons and octagons like on a soccer ball * * * * * That is an unbelievably rubbish answer! Tessellation - unless otherwise specified - refers to covering a 2-d surface, not the surface of a sphere. Normal soccer balls do not have pentagons and octagons but pentagons and hexagons.
What two shapes can not be tessellated?
star and circle
Which type of symmetry does the tessellated plane have?
There are several different types of symmetry. Some of these include reflectional symmetry or rotational symmetry. It depends on how the plane has been tessellated.
Can a regular decagon be tessellated?
no it can not i have research it thoroughly i could not find any pictures of a regular decagon tessellated. i did but they all had different shapes so the answer is no it is not logically possible
Can a regular pentagon be tessellated in combination with a regular heptagon?
No.
Can a 8 sided shape tessellate?
an interior angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees since 360/135 is not an integer, a regular octagon cannot be tessellated. also, other octagons cannot be tessellated. the total interior angle sum of an octagon is 1080 degrees. however, 1080 cannot be written as a sum of eight numbers which can divide 360 and result as an integer (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360) (of course you cannot form a polygon with an angle of 180 or 360 degrees) the only possible tessellations using polygons of the same kind are as follows: triangles, quadrilaterals ans hexagons.
