CASE STUDY -4, CHAPTER -7, COORDINATE GEOMETRY

A tiling or tessellation of a
flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes,
called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were
used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on
floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the
archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.

A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above
design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian
plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor
tessellation pattern

CASE STUDY-1 CHAPTER – 15 PROBABILITY

Dice are small, throwable objects with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. They are used for generating random numbers, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role playing games and games of chance.

https://dinesh51.blogspot.com

A traditional die is a cube with each of its six faces marked with a different number of dots (pips) from one to six. When thrown or rolled, the die comes to rest showing a random integer from one to six on its upper surface, with each value being equally likely.

A die is rolled.
