What else can I help you with?
Can a regular pentagon be used to tile a floor?
No, not if your floor is flat. Regular pentagons do not tile the plane. You will always end up with empty space. You would need to use some other shapes too (or irregular pentagons) http://www2.spsu.edu/math/tile/defs/pentagon.htm
What regular figure can be used with a regular octagon to tessellate the plane?
Square.
Can a dodecagon be used to tile a flat surfc?
No, a regular dodecagon cannot be used to tile a flat surface. Tiling requires shapes to fit together without gaps or overlaps, and the internal angles of a regular dodecagon (150 degrees) do not allow for such arrangements. While irregular dodecagons might be able to tile under certain configurations, a regular dodecagon cannot do so on its own.
What is the formula used to find the sum of the interior angles of a regular octagon?
(8-2)*180 = 1080 degrees
Can copies of a polygon be used to tile a surface?
Yes, copies of a polygon can be used to tile a surface, provided the polygon is a suitable shape. Regular polygons, like squares and equilateral triangles, can easily tile a plane without gaps or overlaps. However, some irregular polygons can also tile surfaces, depending on their angles and side lengths. The key requirement for a polygon to tile a surface is that it can cover the area without leaving any spaces between the tiles.

Can travertine tile be used on the floor of a gas fireplace?
Yes, travertine tile can be used on the floor of a gas fireplace.
Can wall tile be used on the floor?
No, wall tile should not be used on the floor as it is not designed to withstand the weight and foot traffic that floor tiles are subjected to. Using wall tile on the floor can lead to breakage and safety hazards.
Can an octagon tessellate?
An octagon can be used to create a tessellation, but an octagon cannot tessellate on its own.
What regular figure can be used with a regular octagon to tessellate the plane?
Square.
Since I used the floor tile as a baseboard in my bathroom what can I do to cover the unfinished top piece of the tile without painting it?
Purchase a tube of colored caulk matching (or close to) the grout you used on the floor tile.
What type of tile is used for office flooring?
Slippy floor.
Can a regular octagon and a square tessellate?
You cannot use a regular octagon on it's own to make a tiling pattern without any gaps. However a regular Octagon and a square can be used together to make a tessellation. Many people think that regular octagons tesselate on their own because they do not appreciate the need for no gaps.
Why is there a cracking sound under my tile floor in my house?
it may not be adhereing to the tile adhesive (not enough used or improperly installed?)
What are some popular floor tile layout patterns used in modern interior design?
Some popular floor tile layout patterns used in modern interior design include herringbone, chevron, basketweave, and subway.
What adhesive is used on ceramic floor tiles to prevent tile cracking when there is a crack on cement floor?
Green screed by BAL
Can a regular octagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No Internat angle of a regular octagon is 135°. No multiple of 135° will make 360°. Thus at any point there can be at most two octagons and a 90° gap. Ratty
