What characteristics can A tessellation is an arrangement of repeating shapes that have?
They cover a plane area without gaps or overlaps.
What A covering of a plane without overlaps or gaps using combinations of congruent figures?
It is a regular tessellation.
What name is given to a shape than can be repeated in a pattern without gaps or overlaps?
That is 'tessellation'
Why do some shapes tessellate and some don't?
Tessellation is repeating a pattern over and over and filling an area with no overlaps and no gaps. Some shapes can't do this, because they don't fit with themselves without leaving big gaps between the parts.
What a tessellation pattern?
It is a pattern in which the tessera - individual tiles - need to be placed so as to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.

A tessellation is an arrangement of repeating shapes that have what characteristics?
No spaces or overlaps exist between it's pieces.

A repetitive pattern of shapes that completely cover a plane without any gaps or overlaps is a?
tesselation
What do you call the decimals numbers that never end?
Decimal numbers that never end but that end up having a repeating pattern are called recurring decimals or repeating decimals.Examples would be 1/3 = 0.33333333...or 452/555 = 0.8144144144144144... (where 144 is the repeating pattern).Reaching that repeating pattern is known as becoming periodic. Only rational numbers will have a repeating pattern. (The repeating pattern may be 00000, as in 4/2 = 2.00000... .)If a decimal number continues forever without having a repeating pattern, then it is a irrational number. One example of a number that continues forever without repeating would be π (pi) which continues infinitely without repeating.Pi is also referred to as a transcendental number.
Is tessellation making a pattern?
No, it is using multiple copies of a shape, usually polygons, so as to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
Is it true you can not tessellate six sides polygon by itself?
No, it is not true that you cannot tessellate a six-sided polygon by itself. Hexagons are a type of polygon that can tessellate, which means they can be arranged in a repeating pattern to completely cover a plane without any gaps or overlaps.
Can a regular pentagon tessellate without overlaps or gaps?
the answer is yes
What does an irrational number look like?
If you write it in decimal, it will continue indefinitely, without a regular repeating pattern.
