Regular tessellations can be created using regular polygons that can completely fill a plane without gaps or overlaps. The only regular polygons that can achieve this are equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons. Each of these shapes has interior angles that allow them to fit together perfectly: triangles (60°), squares (90°), and hexagons (120°). Other regular polygons, such as pentagons or octagons, cannot tessellate the plane on their own.

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.

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.
