A pattern of shapes that has no gaps or overlapping is called a tessellation. Tessellations are arrangements of closed shapes that completely cover a surface without any overlaps or gaps. They can be created using a variety of shapes, such as triangles, squares, hexagons, or even more complex shapes. Tessellations can be found in art, architecture, and mathematics, and have been studied for centuries for their aesthetic and geometric properties.

Does an octagon tessellate?
An octagon cannot tessellate because when you put about 4 together, there are gaps in between the shapes, which is not allowed in a tessellation. When you put together 5 octagon's, some of them are overlapping and there still are gaps. Therefore, an octagon cant tessellate.
What is a geometric tessellation?
A geometric tessellation is a pattern of shapes and colorsAnother Answer:-Geometric tessellation is when shapes on a plane blend together with no gaps or overlaps.
What is the math behind a tesselation?
This is a pattern made up of identical shapes, they must fit together without any gaps and the shapes must not overlap. Multiple regular shapes are squares, triangles, hexagons and dodecagons
