In geometry , the trihexagonal tiling is one of 11 uniform tilings of the Euclidean plane by regular polygons . It consists of equilateral triangles and regular hexagons , arranged so that each hexagon is surrounded by triangles and vice versa. The name derives from the fact that it combines a regular hexagonal tiling and a regular triangular tiling . Two hexagons and two triangles alternate around each vertex , and its edges form an infinite arrangement of lines . Its dual is the rhombille tiling .
