No, a square and a pentagon cannot tessellate together. In order for two shapes to tessellate, their angles must add up to a multiple of 360 degrees. A square has angles of 90 degrees, while a regular pentagon has angles of 108 degrees. Since 90 and 108 do not add up to a multiple of 360, these shapes cannot tessellate together.

Can pentagon and square tessellate together?
No, a regular pentagon and a square cannot tessellate together. While squares can tessellate on their own, pentagons have angles that do not allow them to fit together with squares without leaving gaps. The internal angles of a regular pentagon are 108 degrees, while those of a square are 90 degrees, making it impossible to create a continuous tiling without overlaps or spaces.
Can a pentagon tessellate with a hexagon?
no
Will a regular pentagon tessellate?
no
Why dont pentagons tessellate?
all sides have to be equal to tessellate .so the answer depends on the pentagon
Which figure can not be used as a tessellation a square or a triangle or a pentagon or a hexagon?
All of them can be used.Any triangle or quadrilateral will tessellate. There are 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons which will tessellate. Regular hexagons and 32 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. There are also concave pentagonal and hexagonal shapes which will tessellate.
