16.1.5 Tessellation: Tiling a Floor with Polygons

16.1 From Triangles into Polygons

Point 5 of 5

16.1.5 Tessellation: Tiling a Floor with Polygons

Core idea

Tiles fit together without gaps because the angles meeting at a single point add up to 360°

Module goal. Take the triangles you just learned, join and generalize them into polygons, and master the language of polygons along with the two core relationships: interior-angle sum and exterior-angle sum
