What else can I help you with?
Is it possible to tile a floor with copies of a regular polygon?
Yes, but only with some polygons.
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.
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.
Will a regular polygon tile?
There are only three regular polygons which with tile. These a re a triangle, quadrilateral (square) and hexagon.This is because if there are n tiles meeting at a point, then the sum of the angles around that point must be 360 degrees - otherwise the polygons will overlap. The only regular polygons with interior angles that are factors of 360 are the ones mentioned above.

What regular polygons can not tile a surface?
Regular polygons with 5, 7 or more sides.
What are all the regular polygons that tile?
The only ones are equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons.

Yes
Which regular polygons can be used to tile a surface without overlaps or gaps?
Regular polygons that can tile a surface without overlaps or gaps are limited to equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons. This is because these shapes can fit together perfectly at their angles to fill a plane completely. Other regular polygons, such as pentagons or octagons, do not have the necessary angle relationships to achieve this tiling without leaving gaps or creating overlaps.
Can copies of a polygon be used to tile on a flat surface?
Yes, copies of certain polygons can be used to tile a flat surface, a process known as tiling or tessellation. Regular polygons, such as equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons, can perfectly tile a plane without gaps or overlaps. However, not all polygons can tile a surface; for example, irregular polygons may not fit together neatly. The specific properties of the polygon determine whether it can successfully tile a flat surface.
Can regular octagon tile the plane?
Not by itself.
Can a regular octagon be used to tile a floor?
it can in accompaniment with squares.
Which polygons will tile the plane?
If it's interior angle is a factor of 360 then it will tessellate such as a square, a regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle.
