How can I reproduce this (geometrical figure with one half filled with a pattern)?

Dear all,

the graphic designer left the workgroup and I have to learn, reproduce and continue their work.

I am trying to reverse engineer the SVGs they sent us before but I cannot understand how to create these geometrical figures so that half of them (or a part of them) is filled with the diagonal strokes you can see in this picture.

The geometrical figures are easy enough, no problem, as well as their division in more or less proportional parts, but how to create those regular strokes?

When I enter isolation mode up to those lines I get this picture:

Could you please help me reverse-engineer this?

Thank you very much

Since it's an SVG, this is a clipping mask.

Inside Illustrator you could also use a pattern.

Thank you.

I am just beginning to learn Illustrator (my learning started 2 weeks ago, FYI).

Could you please illustrate (pun intended) me how best to do this? 

Both as a clipping mask and as a pattern. 

Thanks

As a clipping mask: create whatever "fill" you want, draw the path on top, select all and Object > Clipping mask > Make

 

 

For a pattern, use the Pattern editing tool (see documentation) to create a pattern and then apply it. Make patterns horizontal or vertical and rotate them after applying using the transform tools (see documentation)
