Tessellations

Question 8 • Mathematical Models with Applications - MA4072 CR

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

Answer
A
yes; measure of interior angle = 90
B
no; measure of interior angle = 90
C
yes; measure of interior angle = 45
D
no; measure of interior angle = 45

Explanation

A square has an interior angle of 90°. Four squares can meet at one point because 4 × 90° = 360°, so they fit together without gaps or overlaps and tessellate the plane. The correct choice is “yes; measure of interior angle = 90.”
