What is the math behind the concept of tesselations?
When polygons are set out on a plane they must not overlap and have no gaps
What is the number of polygon sides can be used for tesselations?
For regular polygons: 3, 4, or 6. For irregular polygons, figures with any number of sides can be found.
Will a pattern of right triangles and squares tessellate?
Yes. Consider the situation when: the right-angled triangles are also isosceles and the hypotenuse (longest side) of the triangles is equal to the side of the square. If you surround a square with four of right-angled triangles (the sides of the square being in contact with the hypotenuses of the triangles), you get a larger shape which is also a square. Taking this as a basic unit, you can make a tesselations. You can also make tessalations if you have two sets of squares, one with sides the same length of the hypotenuse of the triangles and one with sides the same length as the smaller sides of the triangles.

Do carpenters use tesselations?

What are tesselations make it simple?
a shape(s) that when repeated completely cover a surface; ex. a tile floor
Why did M.C. Escher draw tesselations?
He found them interesting and fascinating. He enjoyed working with them and creating the interconnected patterns.
What is the use of tesselations?
Tesselations can be used to design wallpaper etc. By using a computer, say with JAVA, designs can be very easily modified to see the final effect much more quickly. Using mathematics long-hand would take a very long time, but the mathematics are the foundations of any computer program.
Who or what influenced MC Escher artworks?
M.C. Escher took a trip to Spain and was greatly influenced by the Alhambra Mosque there, with its many tesselations
What are the rules for regular tesselations angle measurements?
The interior angle of the polygon must divide 2*pi radians (360 degrees) exactly.
What is the number of polygon sides can be used for tesselations?
For regular polygons: 3, 4, or 6. For irregular polygons, figures with any number of sides can be found.
What does a tessellation look like?
They are shapes or figures that can be put together to form a surface with no cracks in between and no overlapping. Squares, hexagons, and triangles are all examples of tesselations.
Who is Maurits Cornelius?
Those are the first names of MC Escher, a Dutch graphic artist known primarily for his tesselations and drawings of "impossible" figures. I'm unaware of anyone else by that name.
