A regular octagon will not tessellate - the 'spaces' left over are squares.

True


Can you tessellate eight sided regular polygons by themselves?

No, they will not fit together, you will also need a square with sides equal in length to the sides of the octagon.

Is it true you can not tessellate eight sided regular polygon by itself?

Yes, it is true.


Is a polygon is an octagon?

If the octagon is a regular octagon (all eight sides and all eight angles are equal), then it is a regular polygon. If it is not a regular octagon (i.e. if it is an irregular octagon) then is it an irregular polygon.


Describe a combination of a regular octagon and another regular polygon that will tessellate the plane?

A regular octagon can tessellate the plane when combined with regular squares. By placing a square in the center of the octagon and surrounding it with eight octagons, the shapes can be repeated infinitely, filling the plane without gaps or overlaps

What is a shape that can be a 8 sided polygon?

All eight sided polygons are known as "octagons". Octagons that have all side lengths the same are known as "regular octagons".


Can a 8 sided shape tessellate?

an interior angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees since 360/135 is not an integer, a regular octagon cannot be tessellated. also, other octagons cannot be tessellated. the total interior angle sum of an octagon is 1080 degrees. however, 1080 cannot be written as a sum of eight numbers which can divide 360 and result as an integer (i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40, 45, 60, 72, 90, 120, 180, 360) (of course you cannot form a polygon with an angle of 180 or 360 degrees) the only possible tessellations using polygons of the same kind are as follows: triangles, quadrilaterals ans hexagons.
