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!
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure 160 be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Yes it can
What shape cannot be used by itself to form a tessellation?
A regular pentagon is one example.
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
What is the smallest turn that will rotate a regular hexagon onto itself?
60 degrees
