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.
What does it mean for shapes to tessellate?
Look up tesselation on google images, there are also different types of tesselation. Shapes connected together from left to right, or in rotations
It's possible to create a regular tesselation with a regular octagon?
No.
Can a regular pentagon be used as the basic shape in a tesselation?
No.
What are irregular tessellations?
An irregular tessellation is a tesselation made of irregular shapes. Escher is famous for drawing these with animals in them.
What is a pattern of shapes that leaves no room left over?
TESSELATION
What are the properties of a tesselation?
What is a tesselation? The answer is very basic. Tesselations are a shape, whether regular or unregular, placed in a repeated fashion. For example, hexagons, a regular shape, is placed in a tesselation, on a soccer ball. The properties of a tesselation, is that the same as, what is a tesselation? I guess the properties of a tesselation are just shapes or objects fitting into each other to form a tesselation. Hope it helped! By audreeso
What is the math behind a tesselation?
This is a pattern made up of identical shapes, they must fit together without any gaps and the shapes must not overlap. Multiple regular shapes are squares, triangles, hexagons and dodecagons
What is a semiregular tesselation?
they are formed from at least to congrunt polygons.each vertexhas the same polyon pattern around it.reminder this aboveis really true i reaserched it ,but wrote it in my one words.
A repetitive pattern of shapes that completely cover a plane without any gaps or overlaps is a?
tesselation
What is the meaning of a word tesselation?
a tesselation is a group of shapes that is put togeter with no spacing.
Is a regular tesselation of squares a monohedral tesselation?
Yes it is.

Can a nine gon be a tesselation?
I do not know the answer. However, I think that for a shape to be able to be a tesselation, that the exterior angle of it must be a factor of 360. The exterior angle of a 9-gon is 40 degrees, and since 40 x 9 is 360, then yes, the 9-gon will work in a tesselation (there will be four of them that share one vertex). In fact, I have come to this solution (it's probably been discovered before): All regular poylygons can be formed into a tesselation. The number of individual shapes in the tesselation that share each vertex will be equal to the number of sides on each polygon.
