Can a regular hexagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
no
Can a regular PENTAGON be used to make a tessellation?
No, it cannot.
Which shape cannot be used to make a regular tessellation?
Circles and simple ovals
What tessellation is formed by using regular polygons?
A regular tessellation or semi-regular tessellation or none.
What is a semi regular tessellation?
Semi-regular tessellation is a tessellation of the plane by 2 or more different convex regular polygons. A semi-regular tessellation combines two or more regular polygons. Each semi-regular tessellation has a tupelo, which designates what kind of regular polygon is used.
Can a regular hexagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
no
Can a regular PENTAGON be used to make a tessellation?
No, it cannot.
Can an equilateral triangle be used to make a regular tessellation?
Yes.
Can a semi-regular tessellation be made from octagons and rhombi?
Strictly speaking, no, because a semi-regular tessellation must be based on regular polygons and rhombi are not regular polygons. However, octagons and rhombi can be used to make a non-regular tessellation.
Can a regular nonagon 1260 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No.
Which shape cannot be used to make a regular tessellation?
Circles and simple ovals
Can a square be used to make a regular tessellation?
Yes. For example a chess board.
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure 160 be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Yes it can
Can a regular quadrilateral be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Tessellation is defined as the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions. A periodic tiling has a repeat pattern. A regular quadrilateral can be used by itself to make a tessellation.
Can a decagon make a tessellation?
Not a regular one.
Can you make a tessellation with a regular octagon?
No, it is not possible.
What tessellation is formed by using regular polygons?
A regular tessellation or semi-regular tessellation or none.
