In geometry, the rhombtriapeirogonal tiling is a uniform tiling of the hyperbolic plane with a Schläfli symbol of rr{,3}.

Symmetry

This tiling has [,3], (*32) symmetry. There is only one uniform coloring.

Similar to the Euclidean rhombitrihexagonal tiling, by edge-coloring there is a half symmetry form (3*) orbifold notation. The apeireogons can be considered as truncated, t{} with two types of edges. It has Coxeter diagram , Schläfli symbol s2{3,}. The squares can be distorted into isosceles trapezoids. In the limit, where the rectangles degenerate into edges, an infinite-order triangular tiling results, constructed as an snub triapeirotrigonal tiling, .
