Shapes can fit together like puzzle pieces. If you have a square tile and another square tile, they always match perfectly, no gaps or overlaps. Some shapes, like triangles or hexagons, can also be used to make patterns that cover a whole floor without leaving spaces. It's like having the right pieces for a puzzle.
Examples
- A square tile fits perfectly beside another square tile, like putting blocks next to each other.
- Triangle shapes can be stacked together on a wall with no gaps or overlaps.
- Hexagons in honeycombs fit seamlessly side by side.
