In general, if they fit together without gaps or overlaps at the centre, the resulting shape will be a convex nonagon. If, in addition, the three diamond shapes are congruent then the shape is a regular hexagon.
A square or a rhombus both will fit the given description as will some other polygons such as a regular hexagon.

If you are comparing with a square then you are thinking of 2D shapes not 3D. The answer is yes there are other 2D shapes that tessellate.You have to look no further than nature to provide an example; the hexagon which is the shape that provides the basis for the honeycomb that bees use!Another example would be some triangles. For example, two equal right angle triangles will fit together to form a rectangle (which clearly tessellates).

Well, isn't that a happy little question! A hexagon can be divided into six equal triangles, and each triangle can be split into two congruent rhombuses. So, you can fit 12 rhombuses in a hexagon. Just imagine all those beautiful shapes working together harmoniously on your canvas!
The answer depends on the size of the hexagon.
how many squares fit in a hexagon
yes it can if your hexagon is bigger
In general, if they fit together without gaps or overlaps at the centre, the resulting shape will be a convex nonagon. If, in addition, the three diamond shapes are congruent then the shape is a regular hexagon.
a hexagon looks like a stop sign but with only six sides. By definition a hexagon is a polygon with 6 straight edge sides and no crossing lines. A regular hexagon is one where all 6 sides are the same length. Chicken wire and honeycombs commonly come in the form of multiple regular hexagon shapes. The heads on bolts are commonly hexagons. Hex wrenches are made to fit in hexagonal openings and have a hexagon cross-section.
That would depend on which hexagon and what triangles. A small hexagon might not have room for any large triangles. A large hexagon will have room fro many small triangles.If you have a regular hexagon and connect the vertices you will have drawn six equilateral triangles
