Tessellation
Define Tessellation
A pattern made of identical shapes:
• the shapes must fit together without any gaps
• the shapes should not overlap

Regular polygon: A polygon which has all its sides of equal length and all its angles of equal measures is called a regular polygon.
A regular polygon is a polygon that is equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and equilateral (all sides have the same length).
|
A polygon that doesn’t have all sides equal and all angles equal. A polygon is "regular" only when all angles are equal and all sides are equal, otherwise it is irregular.
Irregular polygon:
A polygon which has all its sides of unequal length and all its angles of unequal measures is called an irregular polygon.

Vocab

Tessellation is an arrangement of some shapes fitted together, especially the polygons in a repeated pattern without gaps or overlapping. Vertice =when two lines meet. Angles = the amount turn between two straight lines that have an end point.

This is my picture that I have chosen from researching. And that pattern is triangles and hexagons the will keep on repeating until it is done without any overlapping.
