How many regular hexagons meet at a vertex to form a regular tessellation?
3
Can an equilateral triangle form a regular tessellation?
Yes, it will.
What shape cannot be used by itself to form a tessellation?
A regular pentagon is one example.
Is it possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular polygon?
Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate. Other polygons cannot.
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 do most states have boundaries that are not straight line segments?
Because they cannot form a tessellation. Tessellations can only be formed by regular polygons.
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.]
What is the number of sides a polygon can have to form a regular tessellation?
It can have 3, 4 or 6 sides.
