Which polygons tessellate with other shapes?
For any polygon, there will be other shapes such that, together, they can tessellate.
What shapes don't tessellate?
I believe that regular shapes will only tessellate if the sum of their internal angles is a multiple of 180.
Does a dodecagon tessellate?
Yes it does tessellate. * * * * * That is simply not true. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate with identical shapes.
Will a trapezium and a triangle tessellate together?
If their shapes are suitably matched they can tessellate together.
Why do shapes tessellate?
Shapes tessellate to fit around an interior angle. They also tessellate because they are regular polygons; non-regular polygons cannot tessellate. * * * * * Not correct. All triangles and quadrilaterals will tessellate, whether regular or irregular. Contrary to the above answer, a regular pentagon will not tessellate but there are 14 different irregular pentagons which will tessellate (the last was discovered in 2015). Three convex hexagons will do so as well. No polygon of 7 or more sides will tessellate - whether they are regular (contrary to the above answer) or irregular.

What are all the shapes that tessellate with themselfs?
All regular polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 degrees will tessellate with themselves
What shapes don't tessellate?
I believe that regular shapes will only tessellate if the sum of their internal angles is a multiple of 180.
Can a regular nonogon tessellate?
yes, most regular shapes can tessellate :)
Do all four-sided shapes tessalate?
Yes all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Can 2 shapes tessellate?
yess
Does a dodecagon tessellate?
Yes it does tessellate. * * * * * That is simply not true. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate with identical shapes.
Can all four sided shapes tessellate?
Quadrilaterals (4 sides) will tessellate because thier interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
Will a trapezium and a triangle tessellate together?
If their shapes are suitably matched they can tessellate together.
How 3D shape tessellate?
Some 3D shapes will tessellate as for example a brick wall

Why do all quadrilaterals tessellate?
In geometry, when quadrilaterals tessellate, they fill a finite or infinite space with no overlaps or gaps between shapes. All quadrilaterals tessellate because they can all be linked together side by side in some shape or form with no overlaps.
