Best Answer

A tessellation of congruent regular polygons can occur only when the internal angle of the polygon in question is equal to a factor of 360. So, for example, the internal angle of a square is equal to 90 degrees (a right angle), which divides equally into 360 four times. A regular tessellation can only occur with triangles, squares, and hexagons. Therefore, any other polygons do not tessellate by themselves.
