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.
Which polygons tessellate with other shapes?
For any polygon, there will be other shapes such that, together, they can tessellate.
What shapes don't tessellate?
I believe that regular shapes will only tessellate if the sum of their internal angles is a multiple of 180.
Does a dodecagon tessellate?
Yes it does tessellate. * * * * * That is simply not true. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate with identical shapes.
Will a trapezium and a triangle tessellate together?
If their shapes are suitably matched they can tessellate together.
Do all shapes tessellate?
No not all shapes tessellate.

Can a regular nonogon tessellate?
yes, most regular shapes can tessellate :)

How 3D shape tessellate?
Some 3D shapes will tessellate as for example a brick wall
What type of shapes are easy to tessellate?
Triangles.
Can a semicircle tessellate with other shapes?
Yes. Any shape can tessellate if you allow other shapes. The simplest way is to select the other shapes so that the given shape and the "other shapes" can be combined to make a rectangle or square.
Can a square tessellate?
noX YES! They CAN tessellate! Triangles, squares, and hexagons are the only shapes that can tessellate by themselves! So yes, squares can tesselate!
What shapes do not tessellate a plane?
circles and octagon do not tessellate as they overlap each other or leave spaces between them.
