There is no general relationship.
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.

What is the relationship between a tessellation and an angle?
The interior angle of a regular polygon must be a factor of 360 degrees for it to tessellate uniformly.
What is the importance of the interior angle measures in the polygons included in a tessellation?
It they weren't equal is wouldn't make a tessellation.
What is the angle relationship in a tessellation using precise math vocabulary?
If you want mathematical precision then the answer is that there need not be any angles at all and so there can be no angle relationship. Shapes like dumb-bells will tessellate, and these will have no angles. There are very many other shapes: see MC Escher's Symmetry artwork for examples.
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure of 160 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No, it is not possible.
How do you know when a regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
It can be used only if the measure of its interior angle is a factor of 360 degrees.

Yes it can

No, it is not possible.
Does the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection change as the angle of incidence increases?
No, the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection remains the same regardless of the angle of incidence. This relationship is governed by the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
How do you know when a regula polygon can be used my itself to make a tessellation?
A regular polygon will tessellate if its interior angle divides 360 evenly.
How do you know when a regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
It can be used only if the measure of its interior angle is a factor of 360 degrees.
What 2d shapes dont tessalate?
A tessellation of congruent regular polygons can occur only when the internal angle of the polygon in question is equal to a factor of 360. So, for example, the internal angle of a square is equal to 90 degrees (a right angle), which divides equally into 360 four times. A regular tessellation can only occur with triangles, squares, and hexagons. Therefore, any other polygons do not tessellate by themselves.
Is a triangle a tessellation?
Yes it is a tessellation.
What is the name of this regular tessellation and why?
Non-visible tessellation or non-existent tessellation, perhaps.
