If a tessellation is regular how many sides can the tessellating polygon have?
The tessellating shape can have 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Can any tessellating shape be used as a unit for measuring area?
Yes a unit for measure can be used as a tessellating shape:)
How do you determine which type of transformation could be used on a tile as part of the tessellating plane?
by saying no
How many triangles will fit about a point when tessellating the plane?
Six. This is true even if the triangle is thin, flat, or scalene, unless it's an unusual tesselation.
What are the tessellation units?
Tessellation is using multiple copies of a shape, usually a polygon, to cover a plane without gaps or overlaps. Each copy of this single shape is a tessellating unit.

What are the tessellating polygons?
The reguar polygons are triangles, quadrilaterals and hexagons.
What is a regular tilling of a plane shape called?
It is tessellating where there are no gaps or overlaps.

by saying no
What do all tessellating shapes do?
tessalating shapes are shapes that can be moved in different angles from one point of the shape
Can a tessellation be created using only a regular hexagon?
Yes. Bees are extremely good at tessellating regular hexagons in a honeycomb.

Can regular pentagon tessellate by themselves?
"yes"The answer above is incorrect. it was proven hundreds of years ago that regular pentagons do NOT tessellate. there are methods for tessellating pentagons, but they are not regularpentagons.yes the answer in the middle is write polygons can not tessellate
Can you make a tessellation with non-tessellating polygons if you combine more than one shape?
yes it can, it is quite easy to pick a non tessellate shape and pick another shape(tessellate or not) that when put together make a square and there you go.
