This is the fundamental, or primary, cell. Parallelograms will all tessellate. You can see that every part needed to make up the full foxes picture is contained in the parallelogram. All you need to do is to repeat them and you get the full tessellation. By joining similar points in a tessellation, it should usually be possible to work out the fundamental cell. In 2 motif tessellations it will contain both of them!

Will a parallelogram and an isosceles triangle tessellate together?

Yes, a parallelogram and an isosceles triangle can tessellate together. This is possible because the angles of the parallelogram can be matched with the angles of the isosceles triangle in a way that allows the shapes to fit together without any gaps. By carefully arranging the triangles and parallelograms, they can cover a plane completely, demonstrating their compatibility in tessellation.
