Can a tessellation be created with a circle?

Answer 1

No, a tessellation cannot be created using only circles, as circles cannot fit together without leaving gaps or overlapping. Tessellations require shapes that can completely cover a surface without any spaces or overlaps. Regular polygon shapes, like squares and hexagons, are typically used for tessellations because they can interlock perfectly. However, circles can be used in more complex or artistic designs that resemble tessellations, but they do not form true tessellations.
