Can a hexagon and a square be made to tessellate?
No. Hexagons and squares will each tessellate by themselves but one can not make a tessellation out of hexagons and squares combined. However, if you add in a third shape, the triangle, one can make a tessellation.
What would a semi regular tessellation have?
It is a tessellation which uses two regular polygons. For example, octagons and squares.
What shapes create a pure tessellation?
Whatshapes/pictures can create tessellations?Triangles,hexagons & squares.
Can a semiregular tessellation be used with more than two shapes?
Yes. For example, dodecagons, squares and triangles.
What is the difference between a tessellation and a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is a tessellation composed entirely of congruent polygons - meaning that ALL shapes in the tessellation are the same. Only 3 regular tessellations exist: equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, and squares. A tessellation is any pattern of shapes which can be repeated infinitely throughout a plane without leaving any "spaces" between the connected patterns and also without any of the shapes overlapping each other.
