Tesselation

What is tesselation?

A tessellation is a pattern of recurring shapes that fills a plane without leaving empty spaces or overlapping.

The diagram below shows some examples of tessellation.

Example 6

Determine whether each of the following patterns is a tessellation.

Solution:

A tessellation consisting of pentagons only.
Not a tessellation because it has a shape which does not recur, which is a square.
A tessellation consisting of combination of equilateral triangles and squares.
A tessellation consisting of the recurring patterns without overlapping.
