What else can I help you with?
Will a hexagon tile tessellate?
A regular hexagon will tessellate.
Willa hexagonal tile tessellate?
Yes
Can you tile a surface with a rectangle?
Yes because it will tessellate
Does a octagon tile the plane?
A regular octagon will not tessellate but an irregular one can.
Why do some shapes tile?
Some shapes tile because they fit together.
Is a triangle a tessellate?
Sort of. Triangle is one of the shape that may tessellate(fit tightly). But one may argue that triangle is not a square (for sure), nor a tile (yet I think it may be) to a tessellate.
Can a triangle tile?
Yes a triangle will tessellate leaving no gaps or overlaps
Is a rectangle tessellate?
The rectangle is the simplest and most obvious case of a geometrical form that can tile a plane.
Can you tile a heptagon?
I would think that the obvious answer would be yes. maybe I am missing something in the question why would one think that you could not tile a seven sided polygon? * * * * * Yes, maybe you are missing something - mathematic reality. There are no polygons - regualr or irregular of 7 or more sides which will tessellate with identical shapes.
Why do some shapes tile and some shapes don't?
some shapes tile and some don't because if the side angles don't equal a factor of 360 degrees it will not tile and if the side angles do equal a factor a 360 degrees it willtile.
Which polygons will tile the plane?
If it's interior angle is a factor of 360 then it will tessellate such as a square, a regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle.
Can you tessellate a undecagon?
An undecagon, which has 11 sides, cannot tessellate by itself because its interior angles do not allow for the angles to fit together without gaps or overlaps. The interior angle of a regular undecagon is approximately 147.27 degrees, and since it does not divide evenly into 360 degrees, it cannot be used to tile a plane on its own. However, it is possible to create a tessellation using a combination of undecagons and other shapes that fill the gaps.
