What kind of regular polygon can be used to form a tessellation?
A regular triangle, quadrilateral (i.e., square) and hexagon may be used.
Why is a rectangle not a regular polygon?
A regular polygon requires all sides to be the same length; in a rectangle not all four sides are the same length (they form two pairs of sides of equal length) and so it is not a regular polygon.
What are the similarities between regular polygon and a concave polygon?
A regular polygon is a special kind of convex polygon - one in which all the sides are of the same length and all the angles are equal. Convex and concave polygons form disjoint sets: so no concave polygon can be regular.
What is a two equal sides polygon called?
It is impossible to have a two-sided regular polygon with equal length sides. The two sides would merely form an open angle, with no closed third side.

How many sides can a polygon have that will not form a regular tessellation?
There are non-regular polygons with a wide range of sides which will tessellate.

Does a semi circle tessellate?
no A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps. Another word for a tessellation is a tiling. Read more here: What is a Tiling? A dictionary* will tell you that the word "tessellate" means to form or arrange small squares in a checkered or mosaic pattern. The word "tessellate" is derived from the Ionic version of the Greek word "tesseres," which in English means "four." The first tilings were made from square tiles. A regular polygon has 3 or 4 or 5 or more sides and angles, all equal. A regular tessellation means a tessellation made up of congruent regular polygons. [Remember: Regular means that the sides of the polygon are all the same length. Congruentmeans that the polygons that you put together are all the same size and shape.]
