SECTION E
Case study-based questions are compulsory.
36 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
Use the above figure to answer the questions that follow:

38 We all have seen the airplanes flying in the sky but might have not thought of how
they actually reach the correct destination. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is a service
provided by ground-based air traffic controllers who direct aircraft on the ground and
through a given section of controlled airspace, and can provide advisory services to
aircraft in non-controlled airspace. Actually, all this air traffic is managed and
regulated by using various concepts based on coordinate geometry and trigonometry.
