Question

Can the figure below tessellate a plane? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without leaving any gaps or overlaps. Tessellation is also known as tiling. Triangles, squares and hexagon are perfect examples of figures that can create tessellation.

The figure below cannot, because there will be gaps.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Answer 2

No. The only curve on the figure that can align with the inner radius is the inner radius itself. To tessellate a plane with a figure, all sides of the figure must align with a non-corresponding side.
