A tessellation is....., a pattern of flat geometric shapes that cover a surface completely. They fit together tightly with no gaps and no overlaps., A pattern with gaps with multiple shapes, a pattern of 3D geometric shapes that cover a surface a bit. They fit together tightly with gaps, B and A, According to the rules of tessellation, what must the angles of the shapes meeting at any single corner (vertex) add up to?, 180 degrees, 360 degrees, 270 degrees, 540 degrees, How can you mathematically test if a regular polygon will tessellate?, Multiply the interior angle by 360., Divide 360 by the interior angle of the regular polygon to see if it gives a whole number., Divide the interior angle by 180., Add the number of sides to 360., What is a regular tessellation?, A tessellation made using only one type of regular polygon., A tessellation made using non-polygon shapes., A tessellation that includes gaps between the shapes., A tessellation made using two or more types of regular polygons., Which of the following shapes are commonly used to create regular tessellations?, Circles, ovals, and crescents, Equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons, Pentagrams and heptagons, Scalene triangles and trapezoids, What defines a semi-regular tessellation?, It uses only one type of regular polygon., It is made using two or more types of regular polygons, where the arrangement at every corner is identical., It has gaps between the shapes at every alternating vertex., It is created entirely through random reflections and rotations., Which transformations are typically used to create irregular or custom tessellations?, Translation (sliding), rotation (turning), or reflection (flipping), Inversion and projection, Compression and shearing only, Scaling (resizing) and stretching, Which of the following best describes the "no gaps" rule in tessellations?, There must be at least a small space between each polygon., Shapes must touch edge-to-edge with nothing left uncovered., Only curved shapes can be used to avoid empty corners., Shapes can overlap as long as the total area is covered., Why do regular pentagons fail to form a regular tessellation?, They have an odd number of sides., Their interior angles do not divide evenly into 360 degrees., They does nothing, They They are too large to fit on a flat surface., What does the "no overlaps" rule mean for shapes in a tessellation?, Shapes do not cross over or intersect each other., Shapes can share the same physical space partially., Have or contain overlaps, Shapes must cross over each other to create depth.
