To solve this problem, we need to understand what it means for a shape to tessellate. A shape tessellates if it can cover a flat surface without any gaps or overlaps, using only that shape.
Let’s go through each shape one by one:
1.
Cross (plus sign): This shape can tessellate. You can arrange multiple crosses next to each other to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
2.
Arrow: This shape can also tessellate. By rotating and flipping the arrow, you can create a repeating pattern that covers the plane.
3.
Diamond (rhombus): Diamonds tessellate very easily. You can place them side by side or stack them to cover a plane.
4.
Triangle: Triangles are known to tessellate. You can arrange them in rows or patterns to cover a plane.
5.
E-shape: This shape can tessellate. By rotating and placing the E-shapes next to each other, you can cover a plane.
6.
C-shape: This shape can also tessellate. By rotating and arranging the C-shapes, you can cover a plane.
7.
Star: This shape can tessellate. By rotating and placing the stars next to each other, you can cover a plane.
8.
Parallelogram: Parallelograms tessellate easily. You can place them side by side to cover a plane.
9.
Lightning bolt: This shape can tessellate. By rotating and arranging the lightning bolts, you can cover a plane.
So, all the shapes listed can tessellate.
Final Answer: All the shapes can tessellate.
