guess the concept
Hi guy, see if you can guess what mathematical concept is
it like triangle but not circle. Like hexagon, but not heptagon. In school it covers everything but keeps repeating.
Is this logical?If a person believe everything, he believes nothing.

Re: guess the concept
tessalations, but only works with regular: triangle, qrudrilateral, hexagon. all triangle and qudrilateral tesselate.

Re: guess the concept
Good quiz! I agree: tessellation.

Really? Even boring quadrilaterals with no equal or parallel sides?
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: guess the concept
yes, even the curry's paradox quadrilateral one, because if you line the correct angles of the quadrilateral properly, (even the convex ones) it will tesselate. This is because the sum of all the interior angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
