Which regular polygons will tesselate?
Triangle, square, hexagon.
Can you tessellate a hexagon?
yes definitely you can tesselate a regular haxagon

Can all regular polygons tessellate?
No only three can tesselate. they are: An equilateral triangle, a square and a 6 sided hexagon.
How many regular polygons tesselate?
By themselves, only 3: triangle, square and hexagon. But there are combinations: eg octagon + square.
Does a hexagon tesselate?
Yes they do. In fact the honeycomb that bees make is a natural tessellation of the hexagon.
Why will a hexagon tessellate?
yes there are several ways to tesselate this figure.
How can you show that all sides and angles of a hexagon are congruent without using a ruler or a protractor?
You can do that by simply proving that the hexagon is a regular hexagon. You could do this by dividing the hexagon into 6 equilateral triangles of the same size successfully that tesselate to form a hexagon, thus proving that all sides are equal.
Can a hexagon tesselate?
Yes. Tessellated hexagons are the basis of many natural structures such as honeycombs.
Can a regular heptagon tesselate itself?
No.
Can you tesselate a regular octagon?
