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.

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 are the similarities between regular polygon and a concave polygon?

A regular polygon is a special kind of convex polygon - one in which all the sides are of the same length and all the angles are equal. Convex and concave polygons form disjoint sets: so no concave polygon can be regular.


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.


What the polygons that form a polyhedron are called?

They are its faces.


What shape cannot be used by itself to form a tessellation?

A regular pentagon is one example.
