Tessellations


How many types of tessellations are?

Tessellations of regular polygons can occur only when the external angle of a polygon is equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only tessellations of regular polygons can occur when the internal angles of a polygon are equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only regular polygons which tessellate are triangles, squares, and hexagons.


How many different types of semiregular tessellations are there?

There are eight different types of semiregular tessellations. Also called Archimedean tessellations, they occur when two or more convex regular polygons form tessellations of the plane in a way each polygon vertex is surrounded by the same polygons and in the same order.


What is the difference between regular and irregular tessellations?

It means with irregular polygons


Which set of polygons will create a tessellation?

All sorts of polygons can create tessellations. See attached link for some examples: http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation


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


Can only regular polygons with an odd number of sides can make a regular tessellation?

No. Squares and regular hexagons, both with an even number of sides, can make regular tessellations.

What are the different forms of tessellations?

All tessellations, involve inlaying, its the materials used and the designs applied that make the difference.

Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations.?

Actually, tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called semi-regular or Archimedean tessellations, not regular tessellations. Regular tessellations consist of only one type of regular polygon repeating in a pattern. Examples of regular tessellations include those formed by equilateral triangles, squares, or hexagons. Semi-regular tessellations combine two or more different types of regular polygons while still covering a plane without gaps or overlaps.


Where can you find tessellations?

Tessellations can be found in art, architecture, nature, and mathematics. You can see tessellations in tiles, quilts, pavement designs, honeycomb patterns, and even in the arrangement of fish scales. Mathematically, regular polygons like squares, triangles, and hexagons can tessellate a plane.
