What is the difference between regular and irregular tessellations?
It means with irregular polygons
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.
What is the difference between a regular pentagon and an irregular pentagon?
A regular pentagon has all its sides of equal length and all its angles equal. An irregular pentagon does not. Several other differences follow from this distinction.
What is the difference between a octagon and a regular octagon?
A regular octagon's angles and sides are all the same. As in the angles are the same, and the lengths of each side are the same. And irregular is basically the opposite of that.
What is the difference between a regular polygon and polygon -?
A regular polygon has equal sides and same sizes of interior angles whereas an irregular polygon has sides of different lengths and different sizes of interior angles
