a. Consider a non-equilateral triangle. Try to create a tessellation around a point as you did before. Be sure you have no gaps or overlaps. Do you think any triangle with tessellate? Why or why not? Defend your reasoning.

Solutions

Expert Solution

A tessellation of a flat surface is the tilling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps.

Two copies of a triangle make a parallelogram and parallelogram make strips that fill the plane.

yes we can do tessellation with any triangle with the above method.
