Is it possible to tile a floor with a pentagons?
Not with regular pentagons because each interior angle is 108 degrees which is not a factor of 360 degrees
Can a regular pentagon be used to tile a floor?
No, not if your floor is flat. Regular pentagons do not tile the plane. You will always end up with empty space. You would need to use some other shapes too (or irregular pentagons) http://www2.spsu.edu/math/tile/defs/pentagon.htm
Why do some pentagons tile the plane and others don't?
Well, pentagons that tile a plane need to have angles and side lengths that have one or more in the shape.
How do you figure out how much room each tile takes for a math problem?
Find the area of the tile and this will depend on the shape of the tile. Tiles for regular or semi-regular tessellation may be triangular, quadrilateral (square, rectangular, rhombic, parallelograms, trapeziums), hexagonal or octagonal. The formula for the area in each case, is likely to be different.
Can a regular pentagon and regular hexagon tile together in a plane?
Yes it can tile. * * * * * No, they cannot.

Can copies of a dodecagon be used to tile a surface?
no it can't If each angle is 150 so 150 times anything does not equal 360 * * * * * A correct answer but incorrect reasoning. First, there is no requirement in the question that the polygon is regular so the each angle need not be 150 degrees. As a counter-example to your reasoning, each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees. 108 times anything does not equal 360. Yet there are 14 different non-regular pentagons which can be used to tile a surface.
Which regular polygons will not tile a surface?
An [equilateral] triangle, square and hexagon are the only regular polygons which, by themselves, will tile a surface.
