Do pentagons and hexagons tessellate together?
As a matter of fact, yes they do.
Can a regular octagon be tessellated?
no it cant be unless you use pentagons and octagons like on a soccer ball * * * * * That is an unbelievably rubbish answer! Tessellation - unless otherwise specified - refers to covering a 2-d surface, not the surface of a sphere. Normal soccer balls do not have pentagons and octagons but pentagons and hexagons.
Can irregular polygons tessellate?
Some can, but not all. For example, rhombi, rhomboids, oblongs, and isosceles triangles can tessellate; however, most irregular polygons cannot. * * * * * True, but an incomplete answer. All triangles and quadrilaterals, whether regular or irregular, will tessellate. No regular pentagon will tessellate but (as of 2016), there are 15 irregular pentagons which will tessellate. There are 3 convex hexagons, (regular and 2 irregular) which will tessellate. No polygon with 7 or more sides, even if it is regular, will tessellate.
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.
How can a hexagon be translated into a tessellation?
A regular hexagon and 3 classes of convex hexagons, plus concave hexagons will tessellate.
Do pentagons and hexagons tessellate together?
As a matter of fact, yes they do.
What shapes can tessellate?
equilateral and isoceles triangles, squares, rectangles and hexagons. equilateral and isoceles triangles, squares, rectangles and hexagons. * * * * * ALL triangle and ALL quadrilaterals will tessellate. There are 15 pentagons as well as 3 convex hexagons which will tessellate. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
What polygons were used to make the tessellation?

In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
What is the angle relationship in a tessellation?

In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
Why is it that only quadrilaterals triangles and hexagons can tessellate the plane?
There can be no answer because the assertion is not true. There are 15 types of convex pentagons - the last discovered in 2015 - which will tessellate.
What figure you do not use to form a tessellation?
