Polyhex Tiling


PolyhexTiling

There are no tilings of the equilateral triangle of side length 7 by all the polyhexes of order n=4. There are nine distinct solutions of all the polyhexes of order n=4 which tile a parallelogram of base length 7 and side length 4, one of which is illustrated above (Beeler 1972).
