... Notice the distinction between the above examples. Example 1.1 is an unknown angle problem because its answer is a number: d = 102 is the number of degrees for the unknown angle. We call Example 1.2 an unknown angle proof because the conclusion d = 180 − b is a relationship between angles whose size ...

Theorem 6.3.1 Angle Sum Theorem for Hyperbolic Geometry
... Let ABC be given with M the midpoint of side BC . If the angle sum of ABC is less than 180 then so is the angle sum of both sub-triangles, ABM and AMC, created by the median AM . This is a proof in Absolute Geometry. The proof in the text is well done and I won’t repeat it here. Let’s focus, ins ...

PERIMETER-MINIMIZING TILINGS BY CONVEX AND NON
... In this paper, we assume that all tilings by polygons are edge-to-edge; that is, if two tiles are adjacent they meet only along entire edges or at vertices. We say that a unit-area pentagon is efficient if it has a perimeter less than or equal to that of a Cairo pentagon’s, and that a tiling is effi ...

A tessellation of a flat surface is the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions and a variety of geometries.A periodic tiling has a repeating pattern. Some special kinds include regular tilings with regular polygonal tiles all of the same shape, and semi-regular tilings with regular tiles of more than one shape and with every corner identically arranged. The patterns formed by periodic tilings can be categorized into 17 wallpaper groups. A tiling that lacks a repeating pattern is called ""non-periodic"". An aperiodic tiling uses a small set of tile shapes that cannot form a repeating pattern. In the geometry of higher dimensions, a space-filling or honeycomb is also called a tessellation of space.A real physical tessellation is a tiling made of materials such as cemented ceramic squares or hexagons. Such tilings may be decorative patterns, or may have functions such as providing durable and water-resistant pavement, floor or wall coverings. Historically, tessellations were used in Ancient Rome and in Islamic art such as in the decorative tiling of the Alhambra palace. In the twentieth century, the work of M. C. Escher often made use of tessellations, both in ordinary Euclidean geometry and in hyperbolic geometry, for artistic effect. Tessellations are sometimes employed for decorative effect in quilting. Tessellations form a class of patterns in nature, for example in the arrays of hexagonal cells found in honeycombs.
