What is a sphere called when consist of only hexagons?
A sphere composed entirely of hexagons is typically referred to as a "hexagonal tiling" or "hexagonal tessellation." However, in the context of geometric structures, it can also be described as a "hexagonal sphere." This configuration is reminiscent of a geometric shape known as a "geodesic dome," where hexagons are used in conjunction with pentagons to create a spherical shape, but strictly hexagonal arrangements do not close perfectly without gaps.
Can a regular pentagon be used as the basic shape in a tesselation?
No.
How are hexagons used?
they are used by bees, its the only structure they use
What shape can be used to create a regular tessellation?
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
What is the strongest geometric shape used in construction?
Triangles and octet-trusses are used alot in bridges become they hold their shape well when subject to a variety of stresses. However hexagons and lorimerlite frameworks are used in different conditions, where they must resist only compression as opposed to a variety of stresses. Also the straight line is the best geometry for resisting tension, hence the use of steel cables.
How many faces vertices and edges does a football have?
Footballs are not all the same.One shape that was used for footballs is the truncated icosahedron. The shape has 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. It has 32 faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges.Footballs are not all the same.One shape that was used for footballs is the truncated icosahedron.

What features can be used to distinguish between an animal cell and a plant cell?
Plant cell has definite shape while animal cell has irregular shape.
Can a regular pentagon be used as the basic shape in a tesselation?
No.
Why octagon-shaped cell structure are not used in cellular network?
Hexagons provide complete area coverage, octagons would leave uncovered gaps.
What controles the movement in and out of the cell?
Inside of a cell it is the cell membrane which lets substances pass into the cell, and out. The cell wall is used to keep the shape of the cell the same.
What is the termed used to described the shape of a red blood cell?
It is a donut shape.
How are hexagons used?
they are used by bees, its the only structure they use
Can Twitter be used on a basic cell phone?
not a basic cell phone. it can be used on cell phone that were specifically made for email and facebook and twitter, phones that can handles alot of typing and a phone that can load fast.
Why does a soccer ball have pentagons and hexagons on it?
They aren't - only. If you only used hexagons, you wouldn't be able to make them into a ball. Sticking only hexagons together would give you a flat piece of fabric. To get a ball shape, you use 12 pentagons, and 20 hexagons, with the same length sides. That combination is what allows you to make something nearly perfectly round out of bits that are actually flat.
Which polygon is used by bees?
Honeycomb cells are hexagonal.
