Yes, squares can tile a flat surface because their equal sides and right angles allow them to fit together without any gaps. Regular octagons, however, cannot tile a flat surface by themselves because their angles (135 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit without leaving gaps. However, a combination of squares and octagons can tile a flat surface, as the squares can fill in the gaps created by the octagons. This arrangement is known as a semi-regular tiling.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can a octagon tile a flat surface alone?
A regular octagon cannot tile a flat surface, it needs squares as fillers. An irregular octagon can tile a flat surface alone.
What solids have flat surfaces?
Circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles are solids that have a flat surface.
What of the following combinations will tile a flat surface?
To determine which combinations will tile a flat surface, you need to check if the shapes can cover the area without gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons like squares, equilateral triangles, and hexagons can tile a flat surface effectively. Some irregular shapes can also tile, but their specific arrangements must be analyzed. Generally, the key is that the interior angles of the shapes must add up to 360 degrees around a point where they meet.
Can regular pentagons and regular hexagons tile a flat surface?
Regular pentagons cannot tile a flat surface without leaving gaps, as their internal angles (108 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit. In contrast, regular hexagons can tile a flat surface efficiently because their internal angles (120 degrees) allow them to fit together perfectly without any gaps. Thus, while hexagons are capable of tiling, pentagons are not.

What solids have flat surfaces?
Circles, squares, rectangles, and triangles are solids that have a flat surface.
How many flat surfaces has the square?
Only one. All squares are figures drawn entirely on a flat surface.

Why does calcite break in smooth flat surface?
calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
Can regular pentagons and regular hexagons tile a flat surface?
Regular pentagons cannot tile a flat surface without leaving gaps, as their internal angles (108 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit. In contrast, regular hexagons can tile a flat surface efficiently because their internal angles (120 degrees) allow them to fit together perfectly without any gaps. Thus, while hexagons are capable of tiling, pentagons are not.
Are the faces of a polyhedron all flat surfaces?
Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.
Does a plane mirror produce regular or diffuse reflections?
A flat plane mirror produces regular reflections since its polished reflective surface is flat compared to the wavelength of light. If the surface is rough or irregular compared to the wavelength, the light will be scattered, resulting in diffuse reflection.
What are 2 dimensinal shapes?
They are flat surface figures like squares and circles. 3D figures have length, width, and height like cubes and spheres.
Is the sphere has a flat surface?
It does not have a flat surface.
What is a flat closed surface that has congruent and parallel opposite sides?
That could be numerous polygons: a square, a regular hexagon, a regular octagon, a regular dodecagon ... Any regular polygon with an even number of sides could be your answer.
