Tiling with rectangles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rectangular tilings using various shapes of rectangles

A tiling with rectangles is a tiling which uses rectangles as its parts. The domino tilings are tilings with rectangles of 1 ×ばつ 2 side ratio. The tilings with straight polyominoes of shapes such as 1 ×ばつ 3, 1 ×ばつ 4 and tilings with polyominoes of shapes such as 2 ×ばつ 3 fall also into this category.

Congruent rectangles

[edit ]

Some tiling of rectangles include:


Stacked bond
Running bond
Basket weave
Basket weave
Herringbone pattern

Tilings with non-congruent rectangles

[edit ]

The smallest square that can be cut into (m ×ばつ n) rectangles, such that all m and n are different integers, is the 11 ×ばつ 11 square, and the tiling uses five rectangles.[1]

The smallest rectangle that can be cut into (m ×ばつ n) rectangles, such that all m and n are different integers, is the 9 ×ばつ 13 rectangle, and the tiling uses five rectangles.[1] [2]
