Semi circles cannot tessellate on their own because they do not have a consistent straight edge to fit together seamlessly without gaps or overlaps. In order to tessellate, a shape must be able to fill a plane without any overlaps or gaps. However, semi circles can be combined with other shapes to create a tessellation, such as alternating semi circles with squares or triangles.
