No because only polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 will tessellate.
For instance a regular pentagon will not tessellate because its interior angle is 108 degrees but a hexagon will tessellate because its interior angle is 120 degrees which is a factor of 360.

What are all the shapes that tessellate with themselfs?
All regular polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 degrees will tessellate with themselves
Do regular polygons tessellate?
Any polygon with external angles which are equal to a factor of 360 will tessellate. The only regular polygons which will tessellate are equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons.
Which of the polygons cannot be used to create a pure tessellation?
The only regular polygons which will tessellate are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides. But all irregular triangles, all irregular quadrilaterals, 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons and 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are concave polygons with different numbers of sides which will also tessellate.
How can you determine whether given shapes will make a tessellation?
There is no simple way.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.In addition, there are concave polygons, and non-polygons which will tessellate.
What polygons were used to make the tessellation?
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.
Can you tessellate six-sided polygons by themselves?
Yes, you can tessellate six-sided polygons by themselves.
Can you tessellate five sided regular polygons by themselves?
five-sided polygons cannot tessellate
What are all the shapes that tessellate with themselfs?
All regular polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 degrees will tessellate with themselves
Is it true that you cannot tessellate seven sided polygons by themselves?
You cannot tessellate convex polygons with 7 or more sides.
Do regular polygons tessellate?
Any polygon with external angles which are equal to a factor of 360 will tessellate. The only regular polygons which will tessellate are equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons.
What shapes do not tessellate?
Shapes such as circles, regular pentagons, and heptagons.Most regular polygons will not tessellate on their own. Only triangles, squares and hexagons will.With irregular polygons there is more of a choice. All isosceles or scalene triangles, parallelograms, trapeziums and kites will tessellate as will some higher order polygons.
Can irregular polygons tessellate?
Some can, but not all. For example, rhombi, rhomboids, oblongs, and isosceles triangles can tessellate; however, most irregular polygons cannot. * * * * * True, but an incomplete answer. All triangles and quadrilaterals, whether regular or irregular, will tessellate. No regular pentagon will tessellate but (as of 2016), there are 15 irregular pentagons which will tessellate. There are 3 convex hexagons, (regular and 2 irregular) which will tessellate. No polygon with 7 or more sides, even if it is regular, will tessellate.
How can you tell if a regular shape will tessellate?
It will tessellate if its vertices divide into 360 degrees evenly. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are an equilateral triangle, a square and a regular hexagon. There are other, non-regular, polygons that will tessellate.
Which of the polygons cannot be used to create a pure tessellation?
The only regular polygons which will tessellate are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides. But all irregular triangles, all irregular quadrilaterals, 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons and 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are concave polygons with different numbers of sides which will also tessellate.

Which polygons tessellate with other shapes?
For any polygon, there will be other shapes such that, together, they can tessellate.
What polygons were used to make the tessellation?
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.
