Suppose all the pentagon have two adjacent angles of 45 degrees, and three right angles. Create a line of pentagons with their bases aligned and their "odd" vertext facing upwards. Next create a second line of pentagons, inverted so as to meet the first line apex-to-apex. The gaps between these will be rectangular (square, in fact). It is thus possible to obtain a tessellation.
No tesselation is possible with regular pentagons and rectangles.
