yo so

#

do you know what tessellating means

reef thicket Dec 9, 2022, 8:58 PM

#

Yeah I can like repeat the shape and they all fit like a pattern ?

bright moon Dec 9, 2022, 9:01 PM

#

yeah exactly

#

so an important thing about tessellating shapes is that

#

if they have corners

#

the corners must be able to come together in some way to form 360 degrees

#

otherwise you wont be able to like 'fill in' around the corners and it wont tessellate

#

if that makes sense?

#

Yep

bright moon Dec 9, 2022, 9:08 PM

#

ok so in the case of triangles

#

can we do that>

reef thicket Dec 9, 2022, 9:09 PM

#

Yeah

thorny peak Dec 9, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

Yes bc all 3 of the angles can be in the middle of the tesselation twice

bright moon Dec 9, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

ok how

thorny peak Dec 9, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

All 3 angles sum to 180°

bright moon Dec 9, 2022, 9:10 PM

#

yeah exactly

#

ok nice

#

so this is for any triangle so

#

its true for any
