A Tessellationis 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.

Do every triangle tessellates?
yes
What are six statements of a triangle?
A triangle... ...has three sides ...has three angles ...internal angles always add up to 180 degrees ...is a two-dimensional shape ...tessellates
Is it possible to draw a hexagon that is not regular that tessellates?
no
Why will a square tessellate?
Because all sides are the same length, and it is a regular shape. It tessellates, because if you lay squares of the same size adjacent to each other, they will leave no gaps.
How do you create a quilt only using geometric shapes?
Select a shape that tessellates. Some shapes will tessellate by themselves, others will tessellate in pairs (octagons and squares), or larger groups. See the link for a flavour.
Is a octagon tessellates?
No, it will not tessellate.
Do every triangle tessellates?
yes
Which shape does not tessellate?
All sorts. For starters, no convex polygon with more than six sides tessellates, and various polyominoes of seven or more squares don't.

Why do all things tessellate?
Not everything tessellates

What polygon can always be a tessellates?
Triangles, Squares and Hexagons always tessellate.
Is a hexagon tessellates?
No, a hexagon is not a tessellation. Some hexagons can tessellate a plane, others will not.
