How do you draw a tessellation that consists of only regular dodecagons hexagons and squares that have the same side length and that no two polygons share an edge if they are the same?

Answering this question would have been much simpler if this site used a half-decent browser, but I will try.
Place a dodecagon on a surface.
Place a hexagon next to every other edge of the dodecagon.
Place additional dodecagons next to alternate edge of these hexagons.
The process will leave square gaps which can then be filled with the squares to complete the tessellation pattern.

Are some hexagons not polygons?
No. All hexagons are polygons.
What is the difference between a tessellation and a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is a tessellation composed entirely of congruent polygons - meaning that ALL shapes in the tessellation are the same. Only 3 regular tessellations exist: equilateral triangles, regular hexagons, and squares. A tessellation is any pattern of shapes which can be repeated infinitely throughout a plane without leaving any "spaces" between the connected patterns and also without any of the shapes overlapping each other.
What sapes don't tessellation?
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellateThere 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.All other convex polygons will not tessellate.

What is a regualr tessellation?
A regular tessellation is when polygons are joined together leaving no gaps or overlaps
Are some hexagons not polygons?
No. All hexagons are polygons.
Can only regular polygons with an odd number of sides can make a regular tessellation?
No. Squares and regular hexagons, both with an even number of sides, can make regular tessellations.
Can only regular polygons with an odd number of sides make a regular tessellation?
No. Squares and regular hexagons, both with an even number of sides, can make regular tessellations.
Is hexagons pentagons?
No because hexagons are 6 sided polygons whereas pentagons are 5 sided polygons
What tessellation is formed by using regular polygons?
A regular tessellation or semi-regular tessellation or none.
What are the tessellating polygons?
The reguar polygons are triangles, quadrilaterals and hexagons.

A regular tessellation is a tessellation which uses regular polygons to cover a surface completely?
one

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
