For a shape to tessellate, it must meet certain conditions: the angles of the shape must fit together without gaps or overlaps, which means the sum of the angles around a point must equal 360 degrees. Additionally, the shape must be able to cover a plane entirely when repeated in a pattern. Regular polygons like equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons can tessellate, while others, like regular pentagons, generally cannot without specific modifications. Lastly, shapes can also tessellate if they are irregular, as long as they meet the angle and coverage criteria.

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.
