Tessellations

Question 10 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

Determine whether the following regular polygon tessellates the plane. Explain.hexagon

Answer
A
yes; measure or interior angle = 120
B
no; measure of interior angle = 120
C
yes; measure of interior angle = 60
D
no; measure of interior angle = 60

Explanation

A regular hexagon has interior angles of 120°. Three hexagons can meet at a point because 3 × 120° = 360°, filling the space around that point with no gaps or overlaps. Therefore, the regular hexagon tessellates the plane; the correct choice is “yes; measure of interior angle = 120°.”
