Tessellation~

Well, back to my college and continued on what I left out last post~
So here's a new semester~
Everything gets tougher compared to the last semester~
It's a thrilling battle of determination, hard work once again~
Everyone hoping to emulate their achievement last semester~
And the routine(assignment, study, exam) just keep going!

But first, I had to study my main "enemy" first~
And one of those turned out to be the topic of "TESSELLATION" again!
So, what was that actually?
And here's a brief intro to tessllation~


Tessellation: A pattern of plane figure that fills the planes with no overlaps and no gaps~*
And tessellation can be furthered classified into:

  •  Regular Tessellation-  Made up of regular polygons which are of the same type, and for which all vertexes (the junctions where the corners of the polygons meet).

* The tessellation of the 3 sided equilateral triangle~The star shape was actually formed by those smaller equilateral triangle if you notice*


 *The tessellation of 6 sided hexagon~ Again, the hexagon had been divided into different ways~*


*Tessellations in daily life! The regular tessellation of the 4 sided square can be detected on the mid upper portion! Spot it?*

  • Semi- regular Tessellation- Made up of two or more regular polygons. The pattern at each vertex must be the same.
*A combination of the tessellation of square and equilateral triangle~*

*A combination of the tessellation of square, hexagon and a 12 sided polygon*

  • Non- Regular Tessellation- Made up of those in which there were no restriction on the polygons around the vertices. There was an infinite number of such tessellation.





*And then there was this so called demiregular tessellations~
I dont think this one was in my syllabus though~ 
But still, found the design interesting and posts some of it here! =)

 *Similar to? Leaves of course! =p*


*And this was the fish one!*

 *Aww, cute, right?*


So, basically that's my brief intro on the topic~
Pump up to do further explorations on this topic in this semester!
Hope can strive well in the exam this time!
Well, that's all folks~
Hope you all did enjoy what I'm writing~~Till then, bye! =)
