6
Course 3 7-9 Tessellations Fascinating designs can be made by repeating a figure or group of figures. These designs are often used in art and architecture. A repeating pattern of plane figures that completely covers a plane with no gaps or overlaps is a tessellation.
7
Course 3 7-9 Tessellations In a regular tessellation, a regular polygon is repeated to fill a plane. The angles at each vertex add to 360°, so exactly three regular tessellations exist.

Course 3 7-9 Tessellations Additional Example 1: Creating a Tessellation Create a tessellation with quadrilateral EFGH. There must be a copy of each angle of quadrilateral EFGH at every vertex.

Course 3 7-9 Tessellations Additional Example 2: Creating a Tessellation by Transforming a Polygon Use rotations to create a tessellation with the quadrilateral given below. Step 1: Find the midpoint of a side. Step 2: Make a new edge for half of the side. Step 3: Rotate the new edge around the midpoint to form the edge of the other half of the side. Step 4: Repeat with the other sides.

Lesson Quiz 1. Explain why a regular tessellation with regular octagons is impossible. Each angle measure in a regular octagon is 135° and 135° is not a factor of 360° Insert Lesson Title Here Course 3 7-9 Tessellations 2. Can a semiregular tessellation be formed using a regular 12-sided polygon and a regular hexagon? Explain. No; a regular 12-sided polygon has angles that measure 150° and a regular hexagon has angles that measure 120°. No combinations of 120° and 150° add to 360°
