Congruent Triangles
... opposite the congruent sides are also congruent. And if she only knew the two angles were congruent, she could use the Base Angles Converse Theorem 4.7 to conclude the two sides opposite the angles were congruent. Anna sees she could also create two right triangles with congruent hypotenuses. Since ...

calabi triangles for regular polygons
... by connecting the vertices of the polygon to the center. The angle in any of these smaller triangles at the center of the polygon is 2π/n and the two other angles are each π/2 − π/n. Let β = π/n so the three angles are 2β, π/2 − β and π/2 − β. Suppose that an inscribed regular polygon has two of its ...

Tessellation
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.
