The image displays a dodecahedron, which is a three-dimensional geometric shape. It is a polyhedron with twelve faces. Each of the faces is a regular pentagon (a 2D shape with five equal sides and angles). It is one of the five Platonic solids, which are convex, regular polyhedrons. The image illustrates two overlapping dodecahedrons from a top-down perspective, highlighting their pentagonal faces and internal structure. |

The image displays examples of complex geometric patterns, specifically related to aperiodic tilings and potentially Islamic geometry. The pattern on the left is an intricate, non-repeating (aperiodic) design often associated with Penrose tilings and 5-fold symmetry. Penrose tilings use a small set of simple tile shapes (like "kites and darts" or "fat and skinny rhombs") that can cover a plane without ever creating a repeating pattern. The design on the right appears to be a foundational geometric construction, likely used as a guide for creating the more complex pattern on the left. These patterns have significant mathematical properties, including connections to the golden ratio and quasi-crystals in physics. |

The image displays a geometric pattern, specifically an octagonal tiling, which is a form of quasiperiodic tiling. The pattern exhibits twelve-fold symmetry. It is composed of regular triangles and squares. The design can be generated using a grid method involving two hexagonal grids. The pattern is a type of Islamic star pattern that combines a central convergent stellated 12-rosette with parallel stellated rosette |
