Could someone help with the PORTFOLIO item? ASAP? PLEASE Plane Art
UNIT NAME: GEOMETRY
Directions: Follow the guidelines below from the M. C. Escher Gallery to create
your work of art for the "Math Behind the Art" exhibition.

Choose one kind of triangle to use for a tessellation: equilateral, isosceles, or
scalene.
Use technology or paper to create six or more congruent copies of your
chosen triangle and investigate how the shape tessellates.
Use your chosen triangle to create an artwork with tessellations. You can use
any sizes, colors, patterns, or art mediums. You can submit a scanned copy,
photo, screenshot, or snip of your artwork.
Provide the explanation of the math behind your tessellation that the gallery
will display next to your artwork.

Use the definition of your chosen triangle and what you know about
the interior angles of triangles to prove that any version or size of that
triangle will tessellate. (Hint: Study the interior angles where the
vertices meet in the tessellation.)
Include diagrams or other visual models to help explain your proof.
Think about how you could extend your work to prove that all triangles
tessellate, and share any theories you might have.
Your completed work of art will be submitted as your portfolio assessment. It must
include your tessellation art and your explanation for the math behind it.
