A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps. Examples: Rectangles. Octagons and Squares. Different Pentagons. Regular Tessellations. A regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular polygon. There are only 3 regular tessellations: Triangles. 3.3.3.3.3.3.
A regular tessellation means that the pattern is made up of congruent regular polygons, same size and shape, including some type of movement; that is, some type of transformation or symmetry. Here we consider the rigid motions of translations, rotations, reflections, or glide reflections.
A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. A periodic tiling has a repeating pattern.
25 lip 2024 · A tessellation is a pattern of geometric shapes that fit together perfectly on a plane without any gaps or overlaps and can repeat in all directions infinitely. Tessellations can be composed of one or more simple polygons, which are two-dimensional shapes with any number of straight sides.

10 paź 2024 · A tiling of regular polygons (in two dimensions), polyhedra (three dimensions), or polytopes (n dimensions) is called a tessellation. Tessellations can be specified using a Schläfli symbol. The breaking up of self-intersecting polygons into simple polygons is also called tessellation (Woo et al. 1999), or more properly, polygon tessellation.
A tessellation is a pattern of shapes repeated to fill a plane. The shapes do not overlap and there are no gaps. The figure above composed of squares is a tessellation since the are no gaps or overlaps between any 2 squares. The figure above composed of regular pentagons is not a tessellation since there are gaps between the tessellations in grey.
