26 Atiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the

covering ofa plane using one or more geometric
shapes,called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps.
Historically, tessellations were used in ancient
Rome and in Islamic art. You may find
tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc.

Shown below is a tiled floor in the

archaeological Museum of Seville, made
using squares, triangles and hexagons.
