Hi
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm learning about tessellations in school. What is a tessellation?
user
A tessellation is a pattern of shapes that fit together without overlapping. Think of a mosaic or a jigsaw puzzle.
assistant
That sounds cool. What kind of shapes can be used in a tessellation?
user
Many shapes can be used, but common ones include triangles, squares, and hexagons. Some shapes, like circles, can't be used to make a perfect tessellation.
assistant
I see. Can I make a tessellation with just one shape?
user
Yes, you can. This is called a monohedral tessellation. For example, you can make a tessellation using only squares or only triangles.
