What else can I help you with?
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure of 160 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No, it is not possible.
Can a regular hexagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
no
How do you know when a regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
It can be used only if the measure of its interior angle is a factor of 360 degrees.
Explain how a regular polygon with an angle measure of 135 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
It is extremely difficult to explain how since it is, in fact, impossible!
What shape cannot be used by itself to form a tessellation?
A regular pentagon is one example.
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure 160 be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Yes it can
Can a regular quadrilateral be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Tessellation is defined as the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions. A periodic tiling has a repeat pattern. A regular quadrilateral can be used by itself to make a tessellation.
Which regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
The only regular polygons are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
How do you know when a regula polygon can be used my itself to make a tessellation?
A regular polygon will tessellate if its interior angle divides 360 evenly.
Can a regular heptagon whose angle measures total 900 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No, it cannot. I was doing my own tessellation project when I came across this question. In order for a polygon to tessellate, the sum of the angles surrounding one point must be 360 degrees (think of it this way, if you spin in a circle, you spin 360 degrees.) So, if a heptagon has a total angle measure of 900, each andgle is approx. 128.57 degrees. 128.57 cannot fit evenly into 360. Hence, a heptagon whose total angle measure is 900 cannot be used by itself to tessellate.
Can a regular octagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No Internat angle of a regular octagon is 135°. No multiple of 135° will make 360°. Thus at any point there can be at most two octagons and a 90° gap. Ratty
Which rotation will carry a regular hexagon onto itself?
A regular hexagon can be carried onto itself by rotations of 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, and 300 degrees around its center. These rotations correspond to the multiples of 60 degrees, which are the angles formed by the vertices of the hexagon. Additionally, a 0-degree rotation (no rotation) also carries the hexagon onto itself.
