    Shapes, Symmetry & Tesselation

    Uploaded by

    Norliza Sapatanoh
    The document discusses symmetry, types of triangles, other shapes, and tessellation. It defines different types of symmetry and provides examples. It also defines properties of isosceles triangles, equilateral triangles, and other shapes such as parallelograms, rhombi, trapezoids, squares, and rectangles. Additionally, it discusses what shapes tessellate and provides examples of shapes that tessellate alone or with each other.

    Shapes, Symmetry & Tesselation

    Symmetry
    If a shape has a line of symmetry, the line of symmetry will divide the shape into two equal
    parts, one half of which can be folded along the line of symmetry to fit exactly onto the other.
    Note, a rectangle has two (not four) lines of symmetry and a circle has an infinite number.
    If rotating a shape through a certain angle produces an identical shape, it has rotational
    symmetry. If the shape can be rotated 4 times before returning to its original shape (e.g. a
    square), it has rotational symmetry of order 4. !n equilateral triangle has rotational
    symmetry of order " and a rectangle has rotational symmetry of order #.
    Triangles
    Isosceles triangles have two equal angles. $he sides of the triangle opposite the equal angles
    are equal in length to one another.
    %quilateral triangles have all of their sides and angles equal. &ince there are '() degrees in a
    triangle and all the angles are equal, each angle is *) degrees.
    Other Shapes
    ! polygon is any shape with straight sides. ! regular polygon is where all of the interior
    angles are the same.
    Parallelogram+ opposite sides are parallel, opposite angles are equal, the diagonals
    bisect one another (this means the diagonals cross at their midpoints).
    Rhombus+ (a parallelogram with all four sides of equal length), diagonals bisect one
    another at right angles.
    Trapezium+ ,ne pair of opposite sides are parallel.
    Square+ !ll sides are equal, all angles are -) degrees, diagonals bisect one another at
    -) degrees.
    Rectangle+ !ll angles are -) degrees, diagonals bisect one another.
    Tessellation
    ! shape is said to tessellate if an infinite number of that shape can be put together, leaving no
    gaps. .or example, a square tessellates+
    ,ther shapes which tessellate include equilateral triangles and hexagons. &hapes can also
    tessellate with one another, for example equilateral triangles and squares tessellate with one
    another+
