So I have the following image of a shape X:
It's asking how to fill the plane with as much shape X as possible. I'm guessing it's asking me how to align it so that there is least amount of free space. Any way to figure that out?
Glue a mirrored copy of the quadrilateral along $AD$. You will obtain a convex hexagon which is symmetric with respect to the point $(3,5/2)$. This hexagon tessellates the plane (see LINK).

P.S. Any quadrilateral can tile the plane: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/AnyQuadrilateralCanTile/
