To determine which combinations will tile a flat surface, you need to check if the shapes can cover the area without gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons like squares, equilateral triangles, and hexagons can tile a flat surface effectively. Some irregular shapes can also tile, but their specific arrangements must be analyzed. Generally, the key is that the interior angles of the shapes must add up to 360 degrees around a point where they meet.

Can a octagon tile a flat surface alone?
A regular octagon cannot tile a flat surface, it needs squares as fillers. An irregular octagon can tile a flat surface alone.
Which regular polygons will fit together to tile a flat surface?
Triangles, squares and hexagons. That is if they all have to be the same. If you use different regular polygons, you can tile a flat surface with triangles and 12-sides or with squares and 8-sides for example.
Can a dodecagon be used to tile a flat surfc?
No, a regular dodecagon cannot be used to tile a flat surface. Tiling requires shapes to fit together without gaps or overlaps, and the internal angles of a regular dodecagon (150 degrees) do not allow for such arrangements. While irregular dodecagons might be able to tile under certain configurations, a regular dodecagon cannot do so on its own.
Which regular polygons will not tile a surface?
An [equilateral] triangle, square and hexagon are the only regular polygons which, by themselves, will tile a surface.
Can copies of a decagon be used to tile a surface?
Yep. ^.^
Can a octagon tile a flat surface alone?

What type of underlayment do you need when installing tile floor?
Before installing tile flooring, you need a clean FLAT surface. Tile is not a flexible material so the flat surface ensures the tile will match up correctly. You also need to sand the underneath flooring so that the grout and tile cement will be able to form a cohesive nature with tile and permanently fix the tile to the surface.

Linoleum must be on a firm flat surface. It is recommended that the tile be removed.
How far does a ball roll on tile?
The distance a ball rolls on tile would depend on factors such as the initial velocity, surface friction, and angle of inclination. In general, the smoother the tile surface and the greater the initial velocity, the farther the ball will roll.
Can you lay engineered hardwood over tile flooring?
