Most regular polygons will not tessellate but if their interior angles is a factor of 360 degrees then they will tessellate or if their angles around a point add up to 360 degrees then they also will tessellate.

What are the properties of a tesselation?

What is a tesselation? The answer is very basic. Tesselations are a shape, whether regular or unregular, placed in a repeated fashion. For example, hexagons, a regular shape, is placed in a tesselation, on a soccer ball. The properties of a tesselation, is that the same as, what is a tesselation? I guess the properties of a tesselation are just shapes or objects fitting into each other to form a tesselation. Hope it helped! By audreeso


Why do most states have boundaries that are not straight line segments?

Because they cannot form a tessellation. Tessellations can only be formed by regular polygons.


What does tessellated mean?

A sub-division of space into discrete elements. Raster surfaces sub-divide space into regular tessellations such as pixels. Polygons are examples of irregular tessellations.

How can you be certain that the angle you create form a square inside the circle?

You cannot. The size of an angle is not sufficient to define a square - it could be one of many other polygons.
