Will a regular isosceles triangle tessellate?

There is no such thing as a regular isosceles triangle. The only regular triangle is an equilateral triangle. Having said that, any triangle will produce regular tessellation.


Is isosceles triangle regular?

No.


Is a isosceles acute triangle a regular polygon?

A regular polygon is one which has all equal sides. But in an isosceles triangle, only 2 sides are equal. The third side has a different measure.Thus an isosceles acute triangle is not a regular polygon.


Is an isosceles triangle considered a regular triangle?

An isosceles triangle is not a regular triangle because it has 1 side that doesn't equal the other 2. For it to be a regular triangle it will need to have all sides the same length. Here are the three types of triangle classification: In a equilateral triangle or also known as regular triangle "all" sides must have the same length. In an isosceles triangle "at least" two sides must have the same length. In an scalene triangle all sides must be of different lengths Therefor it can be said that a regular triangle is a type of isosceles triangle since it has at least 2 sides of the same length. But remember if one side changes length and 2 remain the same it becomes an isosceles, if all sides are of different lengths then it becomes scalene.


Example of a non-regular polygon?

An isosceles triangle or a rhombus.


Is a isocels triangle a regular polygon?

A regular polygon is a shape in which all angles are equal. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides, thus two equal angles, but the other side/angle differs. Therefore an isosceles triangle is not a regular polygon.


Draw a triangle that is not a regular triangle?

If by regular, you're referring to a regular polygon which has all sides equal length, and all angles equal, then an equilateral triangle is a regular triangle. If you draw a scalene triangle or an isosceles triangle then it will not be equilateral.

Is an isosceles triangle and parallelogram a semi regular tessellation?

It depends. Strictly speaking, a semi-regular tessellation uses two (or more) regular polygons and, since neither an isosceles triangle nor a parallelogram is regular, it cannot be a semi-regular tessellation. However, a less strict definition allows non-regular components.
