Geometric Design
Polygon
Line segments connected in a loop to form a plane figure. Each line segments will
be designated as the polygon’s side. Generally two dimensional
Interior Angles
The angle formed between two sides inside the polygon.
Irregular Polygons
• F = faces
• V = vertices
• E = edges
Prism
• A solid with flat sides and same cross section throughout the length
Pyramid
• Solid whose base is connected to the apex
Cone
• Solid formed by rotating a triangle
Cylinder
• Solid with a constant cross section of a circle throughout its length
Sphere
• A perfectly round solid
Torus
• a solid formed by revolving a small circle along a line made by
another circle
Geometry Transformation
Symmetry
• Rotational symmetry is exhibited by different geometrical shapes such
as circles, squares, rhombus, etc.
Order
• The order of rotational symmetry is defined as the number of times the
geometrical figure is identical to the original figure undergoing one
complete rotation.
Rectangle 2 180°
Square 4 90°
Pentagon 5 72°
Hexagon 6 60°
Heptagon 7 51.43°
Octagon 8 45°
Nonagon 9 40°
Decagon 10 36°
Tessellation
• cover a surface with a pattern of flat shapes so that
there are no overlaps or gaps.
• A regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a
regular polygon
• The vertex point is the point where the shapes come together. The sum
of all the angles of each shape that come together at vertex point is
360o.
• A semi-regular tessellation is made of two or more
regular polygons.
Other tessellations
Frieze Pattern
• Infinite strip of repeating pattern
