Because the figures in a tessellation do not overlap or leave gaps the sum of the measures of the angles around any vertex must be?

360 degrees, but this assumes that there are any angles. There need not be any angles - as illustrated by MC Escher in his set of Symmetry artwork.

Can two obtuse angle be adjacent angles?
Two angles are adjacent if they have the same vertex, share a side and do not overlap. It is, therefore, perfectly possible for two obtuse angles to be adjacent. In fact, every pair of adjacent angles in a hexagonal tessellation (a honeycomb, for example), consists of a pair of obtuse angles (120 degrees).
How many times do the hands of a clock overlap in 12 hours?
They overlap 11 times.
How is the solution in a system of inequalities determine?
An inequality determines a region of space in which the solutions for that particular inequality. For a system of inequalities, these regions may overlap. The solution set is any point in the overlap. If the regions do not overlap then there is no solution to the system.
What shape can you make out of a square and 2 triangles?
Depending on their shapes and relative sizes, anything from a rectangle to an 18-sided polygon (if they are allowed to overlap).Depending on their shapes and relative sizes, anything from a rectangle to an 18-sided polygon (if they are allowed to overlap).Depending on their shapes and relative sizes, anything from a rectangle to an 18-sided polygon (if they are allowed to overlap).Depending on their shapes and relative sizes, anything from a rectangle to an 18-sided polygon (if they are allowed to overlap).
What are lines that overlap at every point when they are graphed?
They are the same line.
Can you use the figures to create a tessellation?
Yes providing that they don't overlap and that there is no gaps
What type of tessellation uses one type of regular polygon to cover a surface completely?
If it also covers a surface without overlap, then it is a regular tessellation.
What vocabulary is used in the making of and describing a tessellation?
Tessellation comprising using multiple copies of a plane (2-dimensional) shape to fill a plane without gap or overlap.
why cant a regular tessellation use only pentagons?
A regular tessellation is one that uses regular polygons. An interior angle of a regular pentagon measures 108 degrees. A full circle, 360 degrees, is not divisible by 108 degrees. Consequently, it is not possible to arrange a number of polygons so that they meet at a point without gap or overlap.
What is a simple tassellation?
A simple tessellation is a pattern made of identical shapes. The shapes fit together without any gaps and do not overlap. An example of a simple tessellation would be a tiled floor.
An angle whose sides overlap measures?
zero
What do you notice about the measures of pairs of adjecent angles?
do not they are 2 angle with a common side and vertics that do not otherwise overlap.
How did Archimedes and moorish and M.C. Escher use tessellation?
M.C Escher- He used tessellation for woodcuts and produced many superbly crafted landscapes as well. During his life, he became obsessed with filling the plane with pictures that did not overlap or leave spaces. Moorish- He used a few shapes and colors of tiles to build complex geometric designs.
How many times does an obtuse triangle tessellate?
The whole point of tessellation is that infinitely many copies of the shape can be used to cover an infinite plane surface without gaps or overlap. So, obviously, the answer is infinitely many times!
What do a tessellation and gecko stone have in common?
Tessellation of stones occurs when geometric patterns interlock and come together as a pathway or other flat surface. One unique shape of tessellated stone pavers resembles that of a gecko.
Does the set of rational number overlap the set of irrational numbers why?
By definition, the two sets do not overlap. This is because the irrationals are defined as the set of real numbers that are not members of the rationals.
Because they have a definite size two points can overlap and not be equal.?
B. False APEX...:)
