Tessellated can describe designs in art, like mosaics that form intricate patterns without spaces in between.

Artistic Patterns

Many cultures use tessellated patterns in architecture and design, often seen in historical buildings.

Cultural Structures

Some tessellations occur naturally, resembling repetitive patterns in nature like honeycombs.

In geometry, tessellated usually refers to the regular repetition of a shape to cover a plane without gaps.

Think of tessellation like a jigsaw puzzle; every piece fits together without any space left over.

Tessellations in math can involve shapes that are all the same (regular) or different (irregular).
