Is it possible to create a regular tessellation with a regular polygon?
Inly if the polygon has 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Can only regular polygons with an odd number of sides can make a regular tessellation?
No. Squares and regular hexagons, both with an even number of sides, can make regular tessellations.
Only regular polygons with an odd number of sides can make a regular tessellation?
False... Because ?
How many sides can a polygon have that will not form a regular tessellation?
There are non-regular polygons with a wide range of sides which will tessellate.
What describes a semi-regular tessellation?
A semi-regular tessellation is covering a plane surface with two or more different regular polygons, all of which have sides of the same length. In addition, each polygon vertex is surrounded by polygons in the same order.

What is a regular tessellation?
A regular polygon has 3 to 5 or more sides and angles, they should be all equaled. A regular tessellation means a tessellation made up of congruent regular polygons.
What is the name of the tessellation made with more than one regular polygon?
A tessellation made up of two or more regular polygons is referred to as a semi-regular tessellation. The eight semi-regular tessellations are known as:3.3.3.3.6, 3.3.3.4.4, 3.3.4.3.4, 3.4.6.43.6.3.6, 3.12.12, 4.6.12, 4.8.8.The numbers refer to the number of sides of polygons around each vertex, starting with the polygon with the fewest number of sides.
If a tessellation is regular how many sides can the tessellating polygon have?
The tessellating shape can have 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Which polygon does not tessellate and why?
Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation. However, for polygons with any number of sides, there are irregular versions that can tessellate.
How many sides can a polygon have to form a regular tessellation?
At least 3 sides such as a triangle which will tessellate leaving no gaps or overlaps
Which regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
The only regular polygons are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
A regular tessellation is a tessellation which uses only one regular?
polygon. It can be a triangle, square or hexagon. Any other tessellation requires irregular polygons (sides of unequal lengths) or more than one shape.
If a tessellation is regular how many sides can the regular tessellation have?
It can have 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Only regular polygons with an even number of sides can make a regular tessellation?
false
How do you work out the number of sides in a regular polygon that has an exterior angle?
With a regular polygon: 360/exterior angle = number of sides
