Looking at this bottom-right box, I can see a pattern composed of hexagons in red, yellow, and blue colors. The hexagons are arranged in a grid pattern where each hexagon shares its sides with adjacent hexagons. There are no gaps visible between the shapes, and they don't overlap either. This pattern covers the entire visible area without gaps or overlaps, which means it qualifies as a tessellation.
Based on my analysis of all the boxes:
- Top-left box: NOT a tessellation (has gaps between diamond shapes)
- Top-right box: IS a tessellation (orange diamonds interlock without gaps or overlaps)
- Middle-left box: IS a tessellation (yellow hexagons and blue triangles fit together perfectly)
- Middle-right box: IS a tessellation (colorful triangles fit together without gaps or overlaps)
- Bottom-left box: IS a tessellation (blue and yellow shapes interlock without gaps or overlaps)
- Bottom-right box (third row): NOT a tessellation (gray shapes have gaps between them)
- Bottom-most box (fourth row, first column): IS a tessellation (blue and yellow shapes interlock without gaps or overlaps)
- Bottom-right box (fourth row, second column): IS a tessellation (hexagons fit together without gaps or overlaps)
The boxes that show tessellations are: top-right, middle-left, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-most (fourth row, first column), and bottom-right (fourth row, second column).
