Instructions: Print two copies of page (preferably on lightweight or tracing
paper) and then close this window. Line up the two pages. Then, keeping the bottom
page steady, translate the top page in the direction and magnitude indicated by the
arrow shown below. See that the copy matches the original. Thus, this tessellation
has translational symmetry.
