Except a kite!

Wrong!
All quadrilaterals will tessellate. Flip a kite over and fit it to another kite with their long sides lined up. Continue with the alternating up-down-up-down ,,, pattern. The orientation of kites for the rows above and below will become apparent.

hexagons tessalate and squares also triangles

Does a kite tessellate?
Yes like all 4 sided quadrilaterals a kite will tessellate.
How can you tell if a regular shape will tessellate?
It will tessellate if its vertices divide into 360 degrees evenly. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are an equilateral triangle, a square and a regular hexagon. There are other, non-regular, polygons that will tessellate.
What shapes do not tessellate?
Shapes such as circles, regular pentagons, and heptagons.Most regular polygons will not tessellate on their own. Only triangles, squares and hexagons will.With irregular polygons there is more of a choice. All isosceles or scalene triangles, parallelograms, trapeziums and kites will tessellate as will some higher order polygons.
Can regular pentagon tessellate by themselves?
"yes"The answer above is incorrect. it was proven hundreds of years ago that regular pentagons do NOT tessellate. there are methods for tessellating pentagons, but they are not regularpentagons.yes the answer in the middle is write polygons can not tessellate
Why do only some shapes tessellate?
tessellations are designs that are based on a shape that regularly tiles smoothly, such as squares or hexagons. Geometrically, this guarantees that all the space is accounted for, and that the shapes should fit together ( though not necessarily smoothly). If you take a square or hexagon (or any other regular shape that fits together by itself) and cut out parts of it using scissors, then attach the cut out parts on the opposite edge of the square from which they were removed, you should end up with a working tessellation.
Does a a rectangle tessellate with a right rectangle?
All 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Does a kite tessellate?
Yes like all 4 sided quadrilaterals a kite will tessellate.
Why do all quadrilaterals tessellate?
In geometry, when quadrilaterals tessellate, they fill a finite or infinite space with no overlaps or gaps between shapes. All quadrilaterals tessellate because they can all be linked together side by side in some shape or form with no overlaps. In geometry, when quadrilaterals tessellate, they fill a finite or infinite space with no overlaps or gaps between shapes. All quadrilaterals tessellate because they can all be linked together side by side in some shape or form with no overlaps.
Can a parellogram tesselate?
Yes all quadrilaterals can tessellate
Will a kite shape a tessellate?
Yes because all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Will quadrilaterals always tessellate?
Yes.
Can a kite shape make up a tessellation?
Yes, all quadrilaterals will tessellate.
Do all four-sided shapes tessalate?
Yes all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Do quadrilaterals always tessellate?
Ahh yea they do
What polygons were used to make the tessellation?
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.
Can all four sided shapes tessellate?
Quadrilaterals (4 sides) will tessellate because thier interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
Can polygons be used by itself to make a tessellation?
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.
