DIFFERENT TYPES OF TESSELLATIONS

A
  1. Regular Tessellation
  2. Semi-Regular Tessellation
  3. Demi-Regular Tessellation
34
Q

A tessellation made up of congruent regular polygons which have the following properties:
o The tessellation must tile a floor (that goes on forever) with no overlaps or gaps.
o The tiles must be the same regular polygons.

A

REGULAR TESSELLATION

35
Q

Also known as Archimedean Tessellations are regular tessellations of two or more different polygons around a vertex which has the same arrangement of polygons

A

SEMI-REGULAR TESSELLATION

36
Q

Is an edge-to-edge tessellation, but the order or arrangement of polygons at each vertex is not the same.

A

DEMI-REGULAR TESSELLATION

37
Q

The function which iterates a figure to make it smaller and smaller or bigger and bigger using a scaling factor

A

FRACTALS

38
Q

means repeating a process over and over

A

ITERATION
