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)

What is the difference between a wall tile and a floor tile?

The difference among wall tiles and floor tiles especially comes all the way down to power, thickness, floor finish, and protection. Here's a clear contrast: 1. Strength and Durability Wall Tiles: Made to be light and skinny, as they don’t need to endure weight. Less long lasting and no longer designed to withstand foot visitors. Floor Tiles: Thicker, denser, and stronger to bear heavy hundreds and put on. Can frequently be used on walls too (although heavier), however now not vice versa. 2. Thickness Wall Tiles: Usually five–7 mm thick. Floor Tiles: Usually 8–12 mm thick, sometimes extra for heavy-obligation areas. 3. Slip Resistance Wall Tiles: Often glossy or clean, which makes them slippery—unsafe for flooring. Prioritize look over grip. Floor Tiles: Designed with textured, matte, or anti-skid surfaces to save you slipping. 4. Surface Finish Wall Tiles: More decorative, with sleek, satin, or three-D finishes. More range in delicate or ornate designs. Floor Tiles: Generally more diffused finishes that prioritize durability and slip resistance. 5. Weight and Installation Wall Tiles: Lightweight for clean vertical installation. Can crack if used on flooring due to foot pressure. Floor Tiles: Heavier and require more potent adhesive and substrate. If you are also planning to get tiles installed then Karara tile is a good suggestion, their tiles are strong and durable.

Can copies of a dodecagon be used to tile a surface?

no it can't If each angle is 150 so 150 times anything does not equal 360 * * * * * A correct answer but incorrect reasoning. First, there is no requirement in the question that the polygon is regular so the each angle need not be 150 degrees. As a counter-example to your reasoning, each interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108 degrees. 108 times anything does not equal 360. Yet there are 14 different non-regular pentagons which can be used to tile a surface.
