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.

An [equilateral] triangle, square and hexagon are the only regular polygons which, by themselves, will tile a surface.
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
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.
Why is it possible to tile a floor with copies of a regular hexagon?
no, u all suck
What happens if you try and tile a floor with regular octagons?
it is probably possible, but will be hard
