Archimedean tessellation
Also known as a semiregular tessellation, a tiling
that uses only regular polygons
arranged so that two or more different polygons are around each vertex and
each vertex involves the same pattern of polygons. There are eight such
tessellations, two involving triangles and squares, two involving triangles
and hexagons, and one each involving squares and octagons; triangles and
dodecagons; squares, hexagons and dodecagons; and triangles, squares and
hexagons.
