Question

Look at the polygon below.

Part 1. On your own paper, create a tessellation using this polygon. Your tessellation should include a point where four such polygons meet. You will not turn this part in to your instructor.

Part 2. Which transformations did you use? Explain why it is possible to tessellate this figure.

Answer 1

Answer 2

ntw all polygons tessellate

Answer 3

the transformation you use in this case is called slide. It just replicates the polygon in a different space in 2 dimensions

Answer 11

@Auctoratrox is correct. here you're just doing a translation. just sliding it right once. and the whole thing you sliding bottom once so that all 4 polygons meet at one point
