What is a tesselation? The answer is very basic. Tesselations are a shape, whether regular or unregular, placed in a repeated fashion. For example, hexagons, a regular shape, is placed in a tesselation, on a soccer ball. The properties of a tesselation, is that the same as, what is a tesselation? I guess the properties of a tesselation are just shapes or objects fitting into each other to form a tesselation. Hope it helped! By audreeso

Can a nine gon be a tesselation?

I do not know the answer. However, I think that for a shape to be able to be a tesselation, that the exterior angle of it must be a factor of 360. The exterior angle of a 9-gon is 40 degrees, and since 40 x 9 is 360, then yes, the 9-gon will work in a tesselation (there will be four of them that share one vertex). In fact, I have come to this solution (it's probably been discovered before): All regular poylygons can be formed into a tesselation. The number of individual shapes in the tesselation that share each vertex will be equal to the number of sides on each polygon.

Why tessellations are important?

Tiles, tiles, tiles! The tiles in your house tesselate, so YES, don't think that tesselation is NEVER used! The pattern on your vase... TESSELATE! Even your piano keyboard tesselates. To tesselate means that they fit together without having any gaps or spaces. Tesselation is important because if the tiles didn't tesselate it wouldn't look that nice. Tesselation is also used for beautiful patterns that are just about anywhere! Tesselation is very fun to make. Some people also think creating tesselations can also be like creating puzzle. Here's an example of a tesselation: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/polyhedra/tessellations/inf7.gif Or for more research go to www.google.com and type the word "tesselate". You'll find tons of information that will help you understand better
