In geometry, the elongated triangular tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are three triangles and two squares on each vertex. It is named as a triangular tiling elongated by rows of squares, and given Schläfli symbol {3,6}:e.
Conway calls it a isosnub quadrille.[1]
There are 3 regular and 8 semiregular tilings in the plane. This tiling is similar to the snub square tiling which also has 3 triangles and two squares on a vertex, but in a different order.
Construction
[edit | edit source]It is also the only convex uniform tiling that can not be created as a Wythoff construction. It can be constructed as alternate layers of apeirogonal prisms and apeirogonal antiprisms.
Uniform colorings
[edit | edit source]There is one uniform colorings of an elongated triangular tiling. Two 2-uniform colorings have a single vertex figure, 11123, with two colors of squares, but are not 1-uniform, repeated either by reflection or glide reflection, or in general each row of squares can be shifted around independently. The 2-uniform tilings are also called Archimedean colorings. There are infinite variations of these Archimedean colorings by arbitrary shifts in the square row colorings.

Circle packing
[edit | edit source]The elongated triangular tiling can be used as a circle packing, placing equal diameter circles at the center of every point. Every circle is in contact with 5 other circles in the packing (kissing number).[2]
Related tilings
[edit | edit source]Sections of stacked triangles and squares can be combined into radial forms. This mixes two vertex configurations, 3.3.3.4.4 and 3.3.4.3.4 on the transitions. Twelve copies are needed to fill the plane with different center arrangements. The duals will mix in cairo pentagonal tiling pentagons.[3]
Symmetry mutations
[edit | edit source]It is first in a series of symmetry mutations[4] with hyperbolic uniform tilings with 2*n2 orbifold notation symmetry, vertex figure 4.n.4.3.3.3, and Coxeter diagram File:CDel node.pngFile:CDel ultra.pngFile:CDel node h.pngFile:CDel n.pngFile:CDel node h.pngFile:CDel ultra.pngFile:CDel node 1.png. Their duals have hexagonal faces in the hyperbolic plane, with face configuration V4.n.4.3.3.3.
There are four related 2-uniform tilings, mixing 2 or 3 rows of triangles or squares.[5][6]

Prismatic pentagonal tiling
[edit | edit source]
The prismatic pentagonal tiling is a dual uniform tiling in the Euclidean plane. It is one of 15 known isohedral pentagon tilings. It can be seen as a stretched hexagonal tiling with a set of parallel bisecting lines through the hexagons.
Conway calls it an iso(4-)pentille.[1] Each of its pentagonal faces has three 120° and two 90° angles.
It is related to the Cairo pentagonal tiling with face configuration V3.3.4.3.4.
Geometric variations
[edit | edit source]Monohedral pentagonal tiling type 6 has the same topology, but two edge lengths and a lower p2 (2222) wallpaper group symmetry:

Related 2-uniform dual tilings
[edit | edit source]There are four related 2-uniform dual tilings, mixing in rows of squares or hexagons (the prismatic pentagon is half-square half-hexagon).
