You cannot tessellate eight-sided regular polygons by themselves.?
True
You cannot tessellate five-sided regular polygons by themselves?
Mostly true - you cannot tessellate only regular pentagons in two dimensions, since you cannot sum up the intersection of the angles to 360 degrees. If you tessellate a regular pentagon in three dimensions, you end up with a dodecahedron.
Is it possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular polygon?
Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate. Other polygons cannot.
Which of the polygons cannot be used to create a pure tessellation?
The only regular polygons which will tessellate are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides. But all irregular triangles, all irregular quadrilaterals, 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons and 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are concave polygons with different numbers of sides which will also tessellate.
Does a decagon tesselate?
yes of course * * * * * A decagon does NOT tessellate. All triangles and quadrilaterals do, there are 14 tessellating pentagons and a number of hexagons (including regular hexagons). There are no tessellations which use polygons of the same shape - regular or irregular - for polygons with 7 or more sides.
Can you tessellate five sided regular polygons by themselves?
five-sided polygons cannot tessellate
You cannot tessellate eight-sided regular polygons by themselves?
true
You cannot tessellate six-sided regular polygons by themselves.?
False
You cannot tessellate eight-sided regular polygons by themselves.?
True
Is it true that you cannot tessellate seven sided polygons by themselves?
You cannot tessellate convex polygons with 7 or more sides.
You cannot tessellate five-sided regular polygons by themselves?
Mostly true - you cannot tessellate only regular pentagons in two dimensions, since you cannot sum up the intersection of the angles to 360 degrees. If you tessellate a regular pentagon in three dimensions, you end up with a dodecahedron.
CAn You cannot tessellate eight sided regular polygons?
A regular octagon will not tessellate - the 'spaces' left over are squares.
You cannot tessellate eight-sided polygons by themselves?
True
You cannot tessellate seven sided polygons by themselves?
True.
Which polygons cannot be used to form a regular tesselation?
Most regular polygons will not tessellate but if their interior angles is a factor of 360 degrees then they will tessellate or if their angles around a point add up to 360 degrees then they also will tessellate.
Can irregular polygons tessellate?
Some can, but not all. For example, rhombi, rhomboids, oblongs, and isosceles triangles can tessellate; however, most irregular polygons cannot. * * * * * True, but an incomplete answer. All triangles and quadrilaterals, whether regular or irregular, will tessellate. No regular pentagon will tessellate but (as of 2016), there are 15 irregular pentagons which will tessellate. There are 3 convex hexagons, (regular and 2 irregular) which will tessellate. No polygon with 7 or more sides, even if it is regular, will tessellate.
Is it possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular polygon?
Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate. Other polygons cannot.
