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.

Is it possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular polygon?

Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate. Other polygons cannot.

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


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.

What following polygons can form a regular tessellation?

Regular tessellations can be formed by three types of polygons: equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons. These shapes can cover a plane without gaps or overlaps, as their internal angles appropriately fit together. Other polygons, such as pentagons or heptagons, do not create a regular tessellation because their angles do not allow for a perfect fit around a point.


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 is the least number of equilateral triangles that can come together at each vertex to form a solid?

Four, in order to form a tetrahedron; this is alos the simplest possible 3-dimensional object constructed of regular polygons.


What is a shape made of lines called?

A shape made of lines is called a polygon. Polygons are two-dimensional figures formed by straight line segments that connect to form a closed shape. Common examples include triangles, squares, and pentagons. The sides and angles of polygons can vary, leading to different classifications such as regular and irregular polygons.


What the polygons that form a polyhedron are called?

They are its faces.


What is the intersection of 2 side of a polygon called?

polygons must be closed and two lines cannot form a closed shape. There is not such thing as a two sided polygon.


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.
