Triangles, Hexagons and Squares.

I am not a math professor or a college student, but I'm pretty sure that there are some more irregular shapes out there that will form a tessellation.

What is a pure tessellation?

A tessellation is the laying out of one or more convex polygons over a certain amount of space without gaps.

What is semi pure tessellation?

Semi-pure tessellation refers to a type of geometric tiling where shapes are arranged in a way that allows for partial overlaps or gaps between them, creating a visually dynamic pattern. Unlike pure tessellation, which uses identical shapes that fit perfectly together without any overlaps or spaces, semi-pure tessellation embraces a more flexible approach, often incorporating variations in size, shape, or orientation. This technique is commonly used in art and design to achieve intricate and aesthetically pleasing compositions.

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


Can a regular octagon generate a pure tessellation?

false, there would be gaps.


What shape was merged to form the tessellation?

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.
