No, there would be triangles in between. Sorry!

Image of a not regular octagon?
A octagon is a octagon without the same angles as the others.
A regular tessellation consists of?
A scheme for suing multiple copies of a regular polygon so as to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
A tessellation is an arrangement of repeating shapes that have what characteristics?
No spaces or overlaps exist between it's pieces.
Will a square and octagon tessellate together?
The angles of a n-sided regular polygon have the measure of (n-2)*180/n degrees. A regular octagon's angle has (8-2)*180/8 = 6*180/8 = 135 degrees. If you stick together two sides of two different (but congruent) regular octagons you get one downward and one upward. We can say this without loss of generality because up and down are just perspective that you can change as you look around the construction. So, at the left of the common side you have two angles around the vertexes. Both of the angles have 135 degrees (being angles of regular octagons). But there is a third angle. The sum of the measures of angles around a point is 360 degrees. So the third angle has 360-135-135 = 90 degrees. And the two sides that form the angle are congruent. ==> you construct a square.
How can you tell if a regular polygon will tessellate?
If you subtract two from the amount of sides there are in the polygon than mutiply that by 180 you than divide that number by the original amount of sides there was by 360 and if it goes into it without a decimal it tessalates. Ex. (10-2)180/360
Can a regular pentagon tessellate without overlaps or gaps?
the answer is yes
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 regular polygons tessellate on their own without any spaces or overlaps?
Equilateral triangle, square and regular hexagon.
Can a regular octagon and a square tessellate?
You cannot use a regular octagon on it's own to make a tiling pattern without any gaps. However a regular Octagon and a square can be used together to make a tessellation. Many people think that regular octagons tesselate on their own because they do not appreciate the need for no gaps.
Is it true you can not tessellate six sides polygon by itself?
No, it is not true that you cannot tessellate a six-sided polygon by itself. Hexagons are a type of polygon that can tessellate, which means they can be arranged in a repeating pattern to completely cover a plane without any gaps or overlaps.
What type of polygon is needed to make a tessellation?
Any polygon can be used to create a tessellation as long as it can fit together without any gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons with equal sides and angles, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons, are most commonly used for tessellations.
Image of a not regular octagon?
A octagon is a octagon without the same angles as the others.
Can a tesellation be created with any shape you can think of?
No. Multiple copies of the shape - whether arranged side-by-side or in an interlocking pattern, must cover a plane area without gaps or overlaps. A circle or regular pentagon, for example, will not tessellate.
What is a characesteristic of a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is one in which a plane is covered, without gaps or overlaps, using copies of a regular polygon.
What A covering of a plane without overlaps or gaps using combinations of congruent figures?
It is a regular tessellation.
A regular tessellation consists of?
A scheme for suing multiple copies of a regular polygon so as to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps.
Does a semi circle tessellate?
no A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a plane without any gaps or overlaps. Another word for a tessellation is a tiling. Read more here: What is a Tiling? A dictionary* will tell you that the word "tessellate" means to form or arrange small squares in a checkered or mosaic pattern. The word "tessellate" is derived from the Ionic version of the Greek word "tesseres," which in English means "four." The first tilings were made from square tiles. A regular polygon has 3 or 4 or 5 or more sides and angles, all equal. A regular tessellation means a tessellation made up of congruent regular polygons. [Remember: Regular means that the sides of the polygon are all the same length. Congruentmeans that the polygons that you put together are all the same size and shape.]
