Truncated tetrapentagonal tiling

In geometry, the truncated tetrapentagonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane. It has Schläfli symbol of t0,1,2{4,5} or tr{4,5}.

Symmetry

Truncated tetrapentagonal tiling with mirror lines.

There are four small index subgroup constructed from [5,4] by mirror removal and alternation. In these images fundamental domains are alternately colored black and white, and mirrors exist on the boundaries between colors.

A radical subgroup is constructed [5*,4], index 10, as [5+,4], (5*2) with gyration points removed, becoming orbifold (*22222), and its direct subgroup [5*,4]+, index 20, becomes orbifold (22222).
