To find the shape that will itself will allow the architect to tessellate patio area.
Answer to Problem 43STP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Four shapes:
=
Tessellation is an arrangement of shapes (especially polygons) closely fitted together in a pattern without leaving any gaps.
Now in the question 4 shapes are given: trapezoid, circle, octagon, and pentagon.
Trapezoid: A trapezoid itself can be used in a tessellation as it is a
Circle: A circle itself cannot be used in a tessellation as it is not a polygon.
Octagon: An octagon itself cannot be used in a tessellation. It is a polygon but it will leave gaps in between which will be filled by another polygon.
Pentagon: A pentagon itself cannot be used in a tessellation. It is a polygon but it will leave gaps in between which will be filled by another polygon.
Conclusion:
Hence, a trapezoid can be used by the landscape artists as it will itself allow her to tessellate the whole patio area.
