Abstract

The Pythagoreans knew that there are three ways to tile a plane (e.g., a bathroom floor) using congruent regular polygons. Indeed, since once can dissect a polygon with p sides into p - 2 triangles, the sum of the angles of such a polygon is (p - 2)180°.KeywordsEquilateral TriangleRegular PolygonRegular HexagonBuckminster FullereneRegular PolyhedronThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
