In geometry, the elongated triangular tiling is a semiregular tiling of the Euclidean plane. There are three triangles and two squares on each vertex. It is named as a triangular tiling elongated by rows of squares, and given Schläfli symbol {3,6}:e.
Conway calls it a isosnub quadrille.[1]
There are 3 regular and 8 semiregular tilings in the plane. This tiling is similar to the snub square tiling which also has 3 triangles and two squares on a vertex, but in a different order.
Construction
It is also the only uniform tiling that can't be created as a Wythoff construction. It can be constructed as alternate layers of apeirogonal prisms and apeirogonal antiprisms.
Uniform colorings
There is one uniform colorings of an elongated triangular tiling. Two 2-uniform colorings have a single vertex figure, 11123, with two colors of squares, but are not 1-uniform, repeated either by reflection or glide reflection, or in general each row of squares can be shifted around independently. The 2-uniform tilings are also called Archimedean colorings. There are infinite variations of these Archimedean colorings by arbitrary shifts in the square row colorings.

---|---|---|
cmm (2*22) | pmg (22*) | pgg (22×) |
Circle packing
The elongated triangular tiling can be used as a circle packing, placing equal diameter circles at the center of every point. Every circle is in contact with 5 other circles in the packing (kissing number).[2]
Related tilings
It is first in a series of symmetry mutations[3] with hyperbolic uniform tilings with 2*n2 orbifold notation symmetry, vertex figure 4.n.4.3.3.3, and Coxeter diagram . Their duals have hexagonal faces in the hyperbolic plane, with face configuration V4.n.4.3.3.3.

There are four related 2-uniform tilings, mixing 2 or 3 rows of triangles or squares.[4][5]

The prismatic pentagonal tiling is a dual uniform tiling in the Euclidean plane. It is one of 15 known isohedral pentagon tilings. It can be seen as a stretched hexagonal tiling with a set of parallel bisecting lines through the hexagons.
Conway calls it a iso(4-)pentille.[1] Each of its pentagonal faces has three 120° and two 90° angles.
It is related to the Cairo pentagonal tiling with face configuration V3.3.4.3.4.
Geometric variations
Monohedral pentagonal tiling type 6 has the same topology, but two edge lengths and a lower p2 (2222) wallpaper group symmetry:
a=d=e, b=c B+D=180°, 2B=E |
Related 2-uniform dual tilings
There are four related 2-uniform dual tilings, mixing in rows of squares or hexagons.
