Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations A True B False?
true
How many types of tessellations are?
Tessellations of regular polygons can occur only when the external angle of a polygon is equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only tessellations of regular polygons can occur when the internal angles of a polygon are equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only regular polygons which tessellate are triangles, squares, and hexagons.
How many different types of semiregular tessellations are there?
There are eight different types of semiregular tessellations. Also called Archimedean tessellations, they occur when two or more convex regular polygons form tessellations of the plane in a way each polygon vertex is surrounded by the same polygons and in the same order.
Are uniform tessellation semi-regular?
Sometimes. By definition, a semi-regular tessellation must include more than one type of regular polygon. Some uniform tessellations use more than one type of regular polygon, but many uniform tessellations use only a single regular polygon. Therefore the statement is only sometimes true.
What kind of polygon has the property that no line containing a side of a polygon will pass through the interior of the polygon?
It is a convex polygon.
