Can a hexagon tesselate?
Yes. Tessellated hexagons are the basis of many natural structures such as honeycombs.
A section of tessellated plane is shown which type of symmetry does the tessellated plane have?
a
Can a pentagon be tessellated?
No
Are all types of triangles able to tessellate?
Yes, all triangles can be tessellated. To tessellate any triangle, take six instances of the triangle and arrange them such that they form a hexagon. This will be a repeatable pattern so being a tessellation
Can a regular pentagon be tessellated?
No.
Can a regular hexagon be tessellated?
Yes. A regular tessellation can be created from either an equilateral triangle, a square, or a hexagon.
What geometric shap is found in a honeycomb?
The honeycomb cells are in the form of a tessellated regular hexagon (six equal sides).
Can a hexagon tesselate?
Yes. Tessellated hexagons are the basis of many natural structures such as honeycombs.
A section of tessellated plane is shown which type of symmetry does the tessellated plane have?
a
What regular polygons can be tessellated?
In a normal plane, only regular polygons with interior angles that are a factor of 360o can be tessellated. This means only three shapes: the regular (equilateral) triangle, the regular quadrilateral (square) and the regular hexagon. If the line were considered a regular polygon (with only two sides) then it would also be included in this list.
What does it mean when a figure tessellated?
A chessboard is tessellated, so I assume it is a figure that is checkered.
