Order-6 pentagonal tiling

In geometry, the order-6 pentagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of {5,6}.

This regular tiling can also be constructed from [(5,5,3)] symmetry alternating two colors of pentagons, represented by t1(5,5,3).

This tiling represents a hyperbolic kaleidoscope of 6 mirrors defining a regular hexagon fundamental domain, and 5 mirrors meeting at a point. This symmetry by orbifold notation is called *33333 with 5 order-3 mirror intersections.

This tiling is topologically related as a part of sequence of regular tilings with order-6 vertices with Schläfli symbol {n,6}, and Coxeter diagram , progressing to infinity.
