This pattern is not quite what it seems. Each line is divided into two so the triangle is actually a star hexagon with a vertex angle of 60 degrees.
Geometry
- The symmetry group of the tiling is *632 (p6m).
- All the internal angles of the constituent polygons are a multiple of 60°.
- Contains one regular three-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 60°.
- Contains one regular 6-pointed star polygon with vertex angle of 120°.
- The tiling satisfies the interlace condition and has no finite interlace and one infinite interlace with straight cross-overs.
- The tiling is not edge-to-edge.
- As drawn, contains about 35 polygons.
