The triangle has the most wasted space, the square has a little less, The hexagon has the least, and the circle has no wasted space making it the most efficient shape and if we are tiling it will be a hexagon due to it being the closest to a circle.Each triangle set represents a way of demonstrating similarity. If you have all sides that are multiples of the corresponding sides they are similar. If they have 2 corresponding angles they are similar. |
Describe the concept of area and volume in terms of efficiency. What is the most efficient shape and why? How can we measure efficiency?
