In geometry, the Cairo pentagonal tiling is a dual semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. It is given its name because it appears on the streets of Cairo and in many Islamic decorations. Conway calls it a 4-fold pentille. This tiling can be seen as the union of two flattened perpendicular hexagonal tilings. Each hexagon is divided into four pentagons. It is the dual of the snub square tiling.

  • Esta teselación aparece frecuentemente en las calles de El Cairo, Egipto y en los murales y arte islámico, de ahí su nombre. El pentágono posee aquí 4 lados de la misma medida. Tiene dos ángulos rectos, un ángulo de 144° y dos ángulos de 108°. Como para todo pentágono, la suma de sus ángulos es de 540°.
