All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.

Which regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
The only regular polygons are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Can a semi-regular tessellation be made from octagons and rhombi?
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.
Can a regular hexagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
no
Why do tessellations have to be used with only polygons?
All shapes have to be polygons, because there is no shape that has 1 or 2 sides. A tessellation has to be a shape, so that it can be repeated. Its not going to be much of a tessellation if its a line.. lol.. that isn't a tessellation
What is used to create a regular tessellation?
The only shapes which can be used for a regular tessellation are:An equilateral triangle,A squareA regular hexagon.There are also non-regular polygons as well as shapes which are not polygons which can tessellate
Can a regular nonagon 1260 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No.
Is depth a tessellation?
No. Tessellation is a process by which identical shapes, usually polygons, are used to cover a plane without any gaps or overlaps.
What does semi regular tessellation have?
It has two regular polygons which can be used together to tessellate a plane.
Which one of the following sets of regular polygons can be used for a semiregular tessellation?
See the answer below.
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.
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure of 160 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No, it is not possible.
