Question

1. what is a tessellation?○ a tessellation is a collection of geometric shapes that have all congruent sides.○ a tessellation is a plane that is covered by a pattern of geometric shapes with no gaps and no overlaps.○ a tessellation is a plane that is covered by a pattern of geometric shapes.○ a tessellation is a collection of geometric shapes that have all congruent sides and repeat in a periodic or aperiodic pattern.

Explanation:

A tessellation (or tiling) is defined as covering a flat plane with geometric shapes such that there are no gaps or overlaps between the shapes, and the pattern can repeat. The other options are incorrect: tessellations do not require all shapes to have congruent sides, and the key defining feature is the gap/overlap-free coverage of the plane.

Answer:

C. A tessellation is a plane that is covered by a pattern of geometric shapes with no gaps and no overlaps.
