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 else can I help you with?
Can you tile a surface with a regular hexagon?
Yes you can. Envision a beehive - it is made of regular hexagons.
Which regular polygons will fit together to tile a flat surface?
Triangles, squares and hexagons. That is if they all have to be the same. If you use different regular polygons, you can tile a flat surface with triangles and 12-sides or with squares and 8-sides for example.
How many pentagons tessellate to make a 3d shape?
Tessellation is covering a 2-d surface. Tessellation and making a 3-d shape are not compatible processes. 12 regular pentagons will form a dodecahedron.
Do the pentagons and the hexagons on its surface help the soccer ball do anything?
Yes, in theory: the number of panels a ball has determines the movement and spin a player can create due to reduced drag from less edges and vertices. The size and weight of an official ball must comply with FIFA guidelines. The current World Cup match ball (adidas' Jabulani) has 8 panels, none of which are hexagons or pentagons. The materials used are also in constant evolution: the Jabulani is not made of traditional leather, but of textured ethylene-vynil acetate (EVA).
What are the similarities of hexagon and triangle together?
Both hexagons and triangles are polygons, meaning they are two-dimensional shapes with straight sides. They can be classified based on their number of sides, with hexagons having six sides and triangles having three. Additionally, both shapes can be regular, where all sides and angles are equal, or irregular, where they vary in length and angle. Both shapes are also commonly found in nature and architecture, and they can tessellate, covering a surface without gaps or overlaps.
Why do bees build their nests using pentagons?
They do not use pentagons but hexagons. Hexagons are the most efficient division of a surface.
Can a regular octagon be tessellated?
no it cant be unless you use pentagons and octagons like on a soccer ball * * * * * That is an unbelievably rubbish answer! Tessellation - unless otherwise specified - refers to covering a 2-d surface, not the surface of a sphere. Normal soccer balls do not have pentagons and octagons but pentagons and hexagons.
Can you tile a surface with a regular hexagon?
Yes you can. Envision a beehive - it is made of regular hexagons.
Will pentagons fit together to form a flat surface?
No it will not tesselate.

What is the surface area of a soccer ball that has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons?
A regulation size 5 soccer ball has a circumference between 68 and 70 centimeters. This translates into a surface area between 1471.865 cm2 and 1559.718 cm2.

What does a tessellation look like?
They are shapes or figures that can be put together to form a surface with no cracks in between and no overlapping. Squares, hexagons, and triangles are all examples of tesselations.
What would a 3d hexagon look like from the side?
A regular hexagon cannot make a 3d figure because a regular hexagon tessellates. As a result t will make a large tiled surface. If the hexagon is not regular then the side elevation will depend on the shape of the hexagons and how they are configured.
What is the surface of a hexahedron?
They are plane faces which can have from 3 to 5 sides (triangles, quadrilaterals and pentagons)..
What are the similarities of hexagon and triangle together?
