To find: whether the tessellation is possible using only with equilateral
Answer to Problem 6CYU
The tessellation is possible using equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider tessellation.
Concept used:
Regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular
Regular polygon has all equal sides and equal interior angles.
Calculation:
Consider square,
The measure of each angle in square is
The number of squares can tessellate
Consider regular hexagon,
The measure of each angle in regular hexagon is
The number of regular hexagons can tessellate
The tessellation is possible using equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons.
