In geometry, when quadrilaterals tessellate, they fill a finite or infinite space with no overlaps or gaps between shapes. All quadrilaterals tessellate because they can all be linked together side by side in some shape or form with no overlaps.

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.
Why do shapes tessellate?
Shapes tessellate to fit around an interior angle. They also tessellate because they are regular polygons; non-regular polygons cannot tessellate. * * * * * Not correct. All triangles and quadrilaterals will tessellate, whether regular or irregular. Contrary to the above answer, a regular pentagon will not tessellate but there are 14 different irregular pentagons which will tessellate (the last was discovered in 2015). Three convex hexagons will do so as well. No polygon of 7 or more sides will tessellate - whether they are regular (contrary to the above answer) or irregular.
Do all shapes tessellate?
No not all shapes tessellate.
Why do all pentominoes tessellate?
they all tessellate because they all fit together
Are all kites quadrilaterals?
All kites are quadrilaterals, but quadrilaterals are not kites.
Does a a rectangle tessellate with a right rectangle?
All 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Does a kite tessellate?
No, a kite does not tessellate. In geometry, tessellation refers to the repeated use of one or more shapes to completely fill a surface without any gaps or overlaps. A kite shape has two pairs of adjacent sides that are equal in length but do not meet at right angles, making it impossible to tessellate without leaving gaps between the shapes.
Can a parellogram tesselate?
Yes all quadrilaterals can tessellate
Will a kite shape a tessellate?
Yes because all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Will quadrilaterals always tessellate?
Yes.
Can a kite shape make up a tessellation?
Yes, all quadrilaterals will tessellate.
Do all four-sided shapes tessalate?
Yes all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Do quadrilaterals always tessellate?
Ahh yea they do
What polygons were used to make the tessellation?
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
Can all four sided shapes tessellate?
Quadrilaterals (4 sides) will tessellate because thier interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
Can polygons be used by itself to make a tessellation?
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
