No. Equilateral heptagons (7 sided figures) do not tessellate the plane. Not if no other polygons are allowed. But if you allow a (non-equilateral) pentagon then you might be able to tessellate the plane!

Does regular heptagon tessellate?

True * * * * * No. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are a triangle, a square and a heagon. So a regular heptagon will not tessellate.

No.


Can a regular heptagon tessellate by itself?

No.


Does a regular heptagon tessellate?

No. Regular heptagons (seven sides) doesn't tessellate alone.


Can a regular heptagon tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?

No.


Which other regular polygon will a regular heptagon tessellate with?

There is no such polygon.


You cannot tessellate seven-sided polygons by themselves?

The heptagon (7 sided polygon) cannot tessellate. The exterior angle of the heptagon is 51.43 degrees which makes the interior angle 128.57 degrees.


Can a heptagon be made into a tessellation?

No convex polygon with 7 or more sides can tessellate.


Can a regular heptagon whose angle measures total 900 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?

No, it cannot. I was doing my own tessellation project when I came across this question. In order for a polygon to tessellate, the sum of the angles surrounding one point must be 360 degrees (think of it this way, if you spin in a circle, you spin 360 degrees.) So, if a heptagon has a total angle measure of 900, each andgle is approx. 128.57 degrees. 128.57 cannot fit evenly into 360. Hence, a heptagon whose total angle measure is 900 cannot be used by itself to tessellate.
