Strictly speaking, no, because a semi-regular tessellation must be based on regular polygons and rhombi are not regular polygons. However, octagons and rhombi can be used to make a non-regular tessellation.
true
A regular polygon has 3 to 5 or more sides and angles, they should be all equaled. A regular tessellation means a tessellation made up of congruent regular polygons.
Tessellations are named based on the number of polygons located at a vertex. For example: A regular tessellation, made from only triangles is named 3.3.3
No. Hexagons and squares will each tessellate by themselves but one can not make a tessellation out of hexagons and squares combined. However, if you add in a third shape, the triangle, one can make a tessellation.
A tessellation made up of two or more regular polygons is referred to as a semi-regular tessellation. The eight semi-regular tessellations are known as:3.3.3.3.6, 3.3.3.4.4, 3.3.4.3.4, 3.4.6.43.6.3.6, 3.12.12, 4.6.12, 4.8.8.The numbers refer to the number of sides of polygons around each vertex, starting with the polygon with the fewest number of sides.

No. Because tessellation is about using lost (infinitely many) copies of a polygon to cover a surface, One polygon does not comprise a tessellation.

No convex polygon with 7 or more sides can tessellate.
MC Escher made a series of etchings using space filling shapes - a form of tessellation, although not uniform tessellation.
Semi-regular tessellation is a tessellation of the plane by 2 or more different convex regular polygons. A semi-regular tessellation combines two or more regular polygons. Each semi-regular tessellation has a tupelo, which designates what kind of regular polygon is used.
A simple tessellation is a pattern made of identical shapes. The shapes fit together without any gaps and do not overlap. An example of a simple tessellation would be a tiled floor.
Yes, any quadrilateral will tessellate.
Scalene triangles, rectangles, rhombi, concave polygons with 5 or more sides.
No. Hexagons and squares will each tessellate by themselves but one can not make a tessellation out of hexagons and squares combined. However, if you add in a third shape, the triangle, one can make a tessellation.
