Any polygon can be used to create a tessellation as long as it can fit together without any gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons with equal sides and angles, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons, are most commonly used for tessellations.

All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.

Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations?

No. Regular tessellations use only one polygon. And, according to the strict definition of regular tessellation, the polygon must be regular. Then a tessellation using rectangles, for example, cannot be called regular.


Tessellation that use more than one type of regular polygon are called semi-regular tessellations?
