More formally, a tessellation or tiling is a cover of the Euclidean plane by a countable number of closed sets, called tiles, such that the tiles intersect only on their boundaries.

There are only 3 regular tessellations: Look at a Vertex ... A vertex is just a "corner point". What shapes meet here? and a hexagon has 6 sides. So this is called a "6.6.6" tessellation. For a regular tessellation, the pattern is identical at each vertex! A semi-regular tessellation is made of two or more regular polygons.

The History of Tessellations: The Mathematical Art of Repeating Patterns

From patterned wallpaper to decorative mosaics, tessellations can be found all around us. The mathematical art of creating repeating patterns dates back to 4000 BCE when the Sumerians used clay tiles to decorate their homes and temples.

Both tessellations will fill the plane, there are no gaps, the sum of the interior angle meeting at the vertex is 360 ?, 360 ?, and both are achieved by translation transformations. These tessellations work because all the properties of a tessellation are present. Figure 10.102: Tessellation ? Squares Figure 10.103: Tessellation ? Hexagons

Tessellation -- from Wolfram MathWorld
17 Nov 2024 at 4:05am
The breaking up of self-intersecting polygons into simple polygons is also called tessellation (Woo et al. 1999), or more properly, polygon tessellation. There are exactly three regular tessellations composed of regular polygons symmetrically tiling the plane. Tessellations of the plane by two or...

Tessellations -- gapless mosaics of defined shapes -- belong to a breed of ratios, constants and patterns that recur throughout architecture, reveal themselves under microscopes and radiate from every honeycomb and sunflower.

What Is a Tessellation in Math? - Mathnasium

There are three different types of tessellations: regular, semi-regular, and irregular tessellations. Let?s explore each of them. Regular Tessellations. Regular tessellations are patterns made of regular polygons?shapes with sides of equal length and angles of equal size?that fit together perfectly without any gaps or overlaps.

There are countless designs that may be classified as regular tessellations, and they all have one thing in common?their patterns repeat and cover the plane. We will explore how tessellations are created and experiment with making some of our own as well.

There are only three tessellations that are composed entirely of regular, congruent polygons. Each polygon is a non-overlapping equilateral triangle. Each polygon is a non-overlapping square. Each polygon is a non-overlapping regular hexagon.

Tessellation refers to covering a given surface with a pattern of flat shapes (either repeating or non-repeating) in such a way that no shape overlaps another, and there?s no gap between any two shapes.
