No, a tessellation cannot be created using only regular pentagons. This is because regular pentagons do not fit together to fill a plane without leaving gaps or overlapping. The internal angles of regular pentagons (108 degrees) do not allow for combinations that sum to 360 degrees around a point, which is necessary for a tessellation. Other shapes, like triangles, squares, or hexagons, can tessellate because their angles allow for such arrangements.

Can regular pentagons and regular hexagons fit together to rip a flat surface?
Yes, regular pentagons and regular hexagons can fit together to tile a flat surface. This combination can create a tessellation pattern where the pentagons and hexagons alternate, filling the space without any gaps. However, it requires careful arrangement and specific angles to achieve a seamless fit, as the internal angles of these shapes are different. Generally, this type of tiling is more complex than using just one type of polygon.
What shape will create a tessellation using only translations?
regular hexagon
Is it possible to create a tessellation using only regular hexagons?
Yes
Can tessellation be created by using equilateral triangles?
Yes.
Can a tessellation be created using equilateral triangle?
yes
What tessellation is formed by using regular polygons?
A regular tessellation or semi-regular tessellation or none.
What is seni-regular tessellation?
There is no such thing as a seni-regular tessellation. A semi-regular tessllation is a tessellation using two regular polygons: for example, octagons and squares together.
Can a tessellation be created using only a regular hexagon?
Yes. Bees are extremely good at tessellating regular hexagons in a honeycomb.
What is a characesteristic of a regular tessellation?
A regular tessellation is one in which a plane is covered, without gaps or overlaps, using copies of a regular polygon.
Can a tessellation be created using only regular polygons?
No. See, for example, the top image in the attached link.
What is a semi regular tessellation?
Semi-regular tessellation is a tessellation of the plane by 2 or more different convex regular polygons. A semi-regular tessellation combines two or more regular polygons. Each semi-regular tessellation has a tupelo, which designates what kind of regular polygon is used.
