Can you make a tessellation with non-tessellating polygons if you combine more than one shape?

yes it can, it is quite easy to pick a non tessellate shape and pick another shape(tessellate or not) that when put together make a square and there you go.

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
Is a pentagon a tessellation?
No a pentagon is a single polygonal shape, A tessellation is a scheme for covering a plane, without gaps of overlaps, using multiple copies of the same basic shape. These are usually polygons.
What is the difference between a semi regular and a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is based on only one regular polygonal shape. A semi-regular tessellation is based on two or more regular polygons.
A regular tessellation is a tessellation which uses only one regular?
polygon. It can be a triangle, square or hexagon. Any other tessellation requires irregular polygons (sides of unequal lengths) or more than one shape.
What shape is not a tessellation?
A circle!

What is a pure tessellation?
A tessellation is the laying out of one or more convex polygons over a certain amount of space without gaps. A pure tessellation is a tessellation in which only one shape is applied to cover an area.A tessellation is a design that covers a plane with no gaps and no overlaps.A pure tessellation is one that uses only one shape

Is tessellation making a pattern?
No, it is using multiple copies of a shape, usually polygons, so as to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
What is the connection between tessellation and geometry?
Tessellation consists of covering a plane using copies of a shape (usually a polygon) so that there are no gaps or overlaps. The study of properties of a plane and plane shapes - whether polygons or other 2-d shapes are all part of geometry.
What shape is not a tessellation?
A circle!
Which shape was merged to create this tessellation?
answer
What are polygons give example of polygons?
a polygon is a a shape with equal sided shape
What best describes a semi regular tessellation?
A semi-regular tessellation is using multiple copies of two (or more) regular polygons so as to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps. The different shapes have sides of the same length and the shapes meet at vertices in the same (or exact reverse) order.The image used with this question:http://file2.answcdn.com/answ-cld/image/upload/w_300,h_115,c_fill,g_face:center,q_60,f_jpg/v1401482497/u6cbkstcqpiibq3485hr.pnguses a regular quadrilateral (a square) and an equilateral triangle. At each vertex, these two shapes, starting with the shape at the top, meet in the following order: TSTTS ot STTST.
Polygons that have the same shape and size are what?
Congruent polygons.
