A tessellation or tiling of the plane is a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps.

Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations.?

Actually, tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called semi-regular or Archimedean tessellations, not regular tessellations. Regular tessellations consist of only one type of regular polygon repeating in a pattern. Examples of regular tessellations include those formed by equilateral triangles, squares, or hexagons. Semi-regular tessellations combine two or more different types of regular polygons while still covering a plane without gaps or overlaps.


What are facts about tessellation?

Some facts on tessellations are that there are different types of tessellations such as regular and semi-regular. In tessellations, each vertex will have a sum of 360º which is what all of the angles should come out to.


What occupations use tessellations in their work?

Artists, designers, architects, and mathematicians are some occupations that use tessellations in their work. For artists and designers, tessellations can be used in creating patterns and designs. In architecture, tessellations can be utilized in developing tiling and paving designs. Mathematicians study the properties and characteristics of tessellations as part of geometry.

Where can you find tessellations?

Tessellations can be found in art, architecture, nature, and mathematics. You can see tessellations in tiles, quilts, pavement designs, honeycomb patterns, and even in the arrangement of fish scales. Mathematically, regular polygons like squares, triangles, and hexagons can tessellate a plane.
