What else can I help you with?
What shape was merged to form the tessellation?
equilateral triangle
What shape will create a tessellation using only translations?
regular hexagon
What shape is not a tessellation?
A circle!
How could you use transformations to make the tessellation?
To create a tessellation using transformations, you can apply translations, rotations, and reflections to a basic shape or tile. By repeatedly translating the shape across a plane, you can fill the space without overlaps or gaps. Additionally, rotating or reflecting the shape can introduce variety while maintaining the tessellation's structure. This combination of transformations allows for the creation of intricate and visually appealing patterns.
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 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.
Its possible to create a regular tessellation with a regular pentagon?
No it is not.
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.
Is it possible to create a tessellation using only triangles?
Yes
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.
