What else can I help you with?
Does a octagon tile the plane?
A regular octagon will not tessellate but an irregular one can.
What shapes do not tessellate a plane?
circles and octagon do not tessellate as they overlap each other or leave spaces between them.
Can a regular octagon be tessellated?
no it cant be unless you use pentagons and octagons like on a soccer ball * * * * * That is an unbelievably rubbish answer! Tessellation - unless otherwise specified - refers to covering a 2-d surface, not the surface of a sphere. Normal soccer balls do not have pentagons and octagons but pentagons and hexagons.
What is a regular tilling of a plane shape called?
It is tessellating where there are no gaps or overlaps.
Can semi circles tessellate?
Semi circles cannot tessellate on their own because they do not have a consistent straight edge to fit together seamlessly without gaps or overlaps. In order to tessellate, a shape must be able to fill a plane without any overlaps or gaps. However, semi circles can be combined with other shapes to create a tessellation, such as alternating semi circles with squares or triangles.
Describe a combination of a regular octagon and another regular polygon that will tessellate the plane?
A regular octagon can tessellate the plane when combined with regular squares. By placing a square in the center of the octagon and surrounding it with eight octagons, the shapes can be repeated infinitely, filling the plane without gaps or overlaps
Can a regular heptagon tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
No.
Can a regular octagon tessellate the plane by itself?
No
Does a octagon tile the plane?
A regular octagon will not tessellate but an irregular one can.
Does a regular pentagon tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
yes no yes no
What regular figure can be used with a regular octagon to tessellate the plane?
Square.
What regular polygons can tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
Triangle, square and hexagon
Which regular polygons can tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
Equilateral triangle, square and regular hexagon.
Which ragular polygons can tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
Equilateral triangle, square and regular hexagon.
Is it possible to make a tesselation with a regular octagon?
No. To tessellate a plane you would also need squares.
Can a pentagon be tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
No not normally
Why does a regular octagon doesn't tesselate?
A regular octagon does not tessellate because the interior angles of a regular octagon, which measure 135 degrees, cannot perfectly fit together without leaving gaps. When attempting to tile a plane with regular octagons, the angles do not sum to 360 degrees around a point, making it impossible to cover a surface without overlaps or spaces. In contrast, shapes like equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons can tessellate since their angles can combine to meet the necessary conditions for tiling.
