Why do some regular polygons serve well as tiles and others do not?
Basically, to serve as tiles, or "tesellate", as they say, the angles have to be an exact factor of 360°.
Does a hexagon tesellate?
If it's a regular hexagon it will tessellate.
What are polygons that are regular polygons?
regular polygons are the ones that all sides are equal
What kinds of regular polygons are symmetrical?
all regular polygons
What regular polygons tessellate on their own without any spaces or overlaps?
Equilateral triangle, square and regular hexagon.
What polygons are always similar?
Regular polygons.
What shapes do not tessellate?
Shapes such as circles, regular pentagons, and heptagons.Most regular polygons will not tessellate on their own. Only triangles, squares and hexagons will.With irregular polygons there is more of a choice. All isosceles or scalene triangles, parallelograms, trapeziums and kites will tessellate as will some higher order polygons.
What regular polygons can be put in a tessellation?
Regular polygons with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
What regular polygons can not tile a surface?
Regular polygons with 5, 7 or more sides.
Do polygons have to have equal sides?
no. only regular polygons do
How are polygons and regular polygons different?
I don't. Think they are.
What are regular polygons?
