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

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.

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.


What is the angle sum around a vertex in a tessellation?

In a tessellation, the angle sum around a vertex depends on the type of polygons used in the tessellation. For regular polygons, the angle sum around a vertex is always 360 degrees. This is because each interior angle of a regular polygon is the same, so when multiple regular polygons meet at a vertex in a tessellation, the angles add up to 360 degrees.
