Question

Which of the following is not a condition of a Tessellation?

1-it must be composed of one shape
2-it must be completely cover a surface
3- it must have a repeating pattern
4-it must have no gaps or overlapping

Answer 1

Option 1 is correct.

Explanation:

We have to select the option which is not the condition of a Tessellation.

A tessellation is a regular pattern made up of shapes that perfectly fit together or we can say it is an arrangement of shapes closely fitted together, especially of polygons in repeated pattern with no overlaps and no gaps.

A tessellation use repeated shapes to completely cover a plane with no overlaps or gaps.

Daily life examples of tessellation are honey combs, to man-made objects, like architecture and quilts.

A tessellation can use one or more geometric shapes. Hence, from the given options only the first option is not a condition for tessellation.

Answer 2

The answer would be 1. Tessellation involves tiling and is a display of shapes fitted together on a surface, which means that tessellation does not only compose of one shape. It has to have a repeating pattern with no gaps. That can be achieved with a variety of shapes.
