3.8 Regular Tessellations I can describe side and angle relationships in regular tessellations. I can compare quadrilaterals. I can classify quadrilaterals.
In a regular polygon all sides are the same length, and all angle measures are equal.
An arrangement of repeated, closed shapes that cover a surface so no shapes overlap, and there are no gaps between any shapes. A tessellation with shapes that are congruent, regular polygons is called a regular tessellation. Some tessellations repeat only one shape, others combine two or more shapes. What is a tessellation?
Use the cut-outs and/or the shapes on your geometry template to complete Journal pages 82-83. Exploring Regular Tessellations
