Can regular triangles fit together at a point without any gap? How many of them fit together?

Correct Answer

Yes, regular triangles (equilateral triangles) can fit together at a point without any gap.

Calculation: Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle = 60° Number of triangles = 360° ÷ 60° = 6

∴ Six equilateral triangles fit together perfectly around a point with no gaps and no overlaps.

Explanation

The chapter demonstrates that regular triangles (equilateral triangles) tessellate perfectly. When fitted around a point, six equilateral triangles come together with no gaps and no overlaps, as each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°, and 6×606 \times 60° = 360°.

Solution Steps

  1. Each interior angle of an equilateral triangle = 60°

  2. Number of triangles = 360° ÷ 60° = 6

  3. Six equilateral triangles fit together perfectly around a point with no gaps and no overlaps.
