Question

1. drawing conclusions the pattern shown is called a tessellation.

a. what transformations did the artist use when creating this tessellation?
b. are the individual figures in the tessellation congruent? explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify transformations in tessellation

The tessellation uses translations (sliding figures without rotation/reflection) to repeat the shape across the plane.

Step2: Check congruence of figures

Congruent figures have same size/shape. Translations preserve size/shape, so all figures are congruent.

Answer:

a. Translations
b. Yes; translations preserve size and shape, so the figures are congruent.
