because a circle is round. you need uncurved edges to tessellate.

Why does a regular pentagon not tessellate the plane?

In order for a polygon to tessellate, the angles must add up to 360 degrees, to come full circle. Triangles have 60 degree angles, so 6 of them circle together. Squares have 90 degree angles, so 4 of them tessellate to a point. Hexagons can even tessellate, because the 120 degree angles add up to 360. But pentagons have 108 degree angles. Three of them add up to 324, only leaving 36 degrees left to close the circle.


Why does a circle not tessellate?

A circle does not tessellate because it cannot fill a plane without leaving gaps or overlapping. Tessellation requires shapes to fit together perfectly, edge to edge, to cover a surface completely. Since circles are curved and have no straight edges, they cannot align with each other in a way that prevents empty spaces or overlaps. In contrast, polygons like squares or triangles can tessellate since their straight edges can fit together seamlessly.
