For example, a regular hexagon bisects into two type 1 pentagons. Subdivision of convex hexagons is also possible with three (type 3), four (type 4) and nine (type 3) pentagons. By extension of this relation, a plane can be tessellated by a single pentagonal prototile shape in ways that generate hexagonal overlays.
A Tessellation (or Tiling) is when we cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that there are no overlaps or gaps. Examples: Rectangles. Octagons and Squares. Different Pentagons. Regular Tessellations. A regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular polygon. There are only 3 regular tessellations: Triangles. 3.3.3.3.3.3.
These two-dimensional designs are called regular (or periodic) tessellations. There are countless designs that may be classified as regular tessellations, and they all have one thing in common—their patterns repeat and cover the plane. We will explore how tessellations are created and experiment with making some of our own as well.

Tiles are the building blocks of a tessellation. A tessellation covers the entire plane (in nite). No gaps and no overlaps! polygon is a shape that is created by straight line segments. In a regular polygon, all angles are equal and all side lengths are equal.
Pentagons are a bit trickier. We already saw that regular pentagons don’t tessellate tessellate, but what about non-regular ones? Here are three different examples of tessellations with pentagons. They are not regular, but they are perfectly valid 5-sided polygons:
A tessellation or tiling is the covering of a surface, often a plane, using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellation can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries. A periodic tiling has a repeating pattern.
