Which regular polygons will fit together to tile a flat surface?
Triangles, squares and hexagons. That is if they all have to be the same. If you use different regular polygons, you can tile a flat surface with triangles and 12-sides or with squares and 8-sides for example.
Why is the shape of a football not a polygon?
A football has a curved surface and polygons are flat. You can approximate a curved surface quite well if you use enough polygons but each polygon will still be flat and a football does have a curved (and rough) surface. Using a few thousand polygons you can create an approximation of a football with stitching seams and every detail but you will not have a curved surface you will have an approximation of a curved surface.
How many polygons does a cone have?
None. A cone is a surface of revolution and thus it has no flat sides. Polygons are planar figures. A cone has no planar faces.
Are the faces of a polyhedron all flat surfaces?
Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.
How many dimensions does a flat shape have?
Flat shapes such as polygons are two-dimensional.

Number of square units to cover a flat surface in math?
Are determined by (a) the shape of the flat surface, (b) the area of the flat surface, and (c) the size of the square units.
when used together, perspective and color variation create what effects for the viewer?
The illusion of depth on a flat surface.
Will pentagons fit together to form a flat surface?
No it will not tesselate.
What mathematical word is used for shapes that are flat?
Polygons are flat shapes
Which statement is good generalization about all polygons?
Polygons are flat shapes with many sides
The number of square units needed to cover a flat surface is the?
It is the area.
How many dimensions does a flat shape have?
Flat shapes such as polygons are two-dimensional.
Solid figure with flat faces that are polygons?
A polyhedron
