    Pentagons and rhombuses that can form rotationally symmetric tilings

    Full text link
    In this study, various rotationally symmetric tilings that can be formed using pentagons that are related to rhombus are discussed. The pentagons can be convex or concave and can be degenerated into a trapezoid. If the pentagons are convex, they belong to the Type 2 family. Since the properties of pentagons correspond to those of rhombuses, the study also explains the correspondence between pentagons and various rhombic tilings.Comment: 50 pages, 42 figure

    Convex pentagons and convex hexagons that can form rotationally symmetric tilings

    Full text link
    In this study, the properties of convex hexagons that can generate rotationally symmetric edge-to-edge tilings are discussed. Since the convex hexagons are equilateral convex parallelohexagons, convex pentagons generated by bisecting the hexagons can form rotationally symmetric non-edge-to-edge tilings. In addition, under certain circumstances, tiling-like patterns with an equilateral convex polygonal hole at the center can be formed using these convex hexagons or pentagons.Comment: 23 pages, 28 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2005.0847
