Will a 15-gon tessellate?
No To find out if a regular polygon tessellates you have to do A=180(sides-2) all over 2. Then you do 360/answer and if it is a whole number it does tessellate. * * * * * Correct answer but the reasoning is limited to regular polygons. According to that logic, a pentagon should not tessellate. But there are 15 pentagons (all irregular) which will.
Will a regular 16-gon tessellate a plane?
A regular 16-gon, also known as a hexadecagon, will not tessellate a plane. In order for a polygon to tessellate a plane, the interior angles of the polygon must divide evenly into 360 degrees. The interior angle of a regular hexadecagon is 157.5 degrees, which does not evenly divide into 360 degrees. Therefore, a regular 16-gon will not tessellate a plane.
