Tessellation Step 4: Translating the bottom to the top

Now we will translate the bottom pattern/line we just created in our previous step to the top of our tessellation. Make sure to translate the bottom segments at the same angle and distance so that they stay connected. When translating, make sure the segments connect at the points that are vertical that we created in the first two steps. At this time, you should have a shape for your tessellation! Drag and pull the points to polish it off to the desired shape you want. It may be hard to see what you can make out of your tessellation at this point, but you can get creative when you design it!
