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.
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.
What shape will create a tessellation using only translations?
regular hexagon
Which shape was merged to create this tessellation?

What shape was merged to form the tessellation?
equilateral triangle

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.
What shape will create a tessellation using only translations?
regular hexagon
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.
A regular tessellation is a tessellation which uses only one regular?
polygon. It can be a triangle, square or hexagon. Any other tessellation requires irregular polygons (sides of unequal lengths) or more than one shape.
What is a basic design element in a tessellation?
The work "tessellation" is derived from a tessella, a small cuboid clay tile which was used to make mosaics. In the context of tessellation, as the term is used in modern geometry, the basic element is a plane shape such that multiple copies of the shape will cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
What is the opposite of tessellation I think it's called overlapulation?
No, there is no such word such as "overlapulation".Tessellation cannot have a single antonym because it has several different characteristics. Tessellation requiresmultiple copies of the same shape, which will cover a planewithout gaps, oroverlaps.
