All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.

Which can be used to create a regular tessellation?
regular hexagon, square, equilateral triangle...apex
What is used to create a regular tessellation?
The only shapes which can be used for a regular tessellation are:An equilateral triangle,A squareA regular hexagon.There are also non-regular polygons as well as shapes which are not polygons which can tessellate
What shape cannot be used by itself to form a tessellation?
A regular pentagon is one example.
Can a semi-regular tessellation be made from octagons and rhombi?
Strictly speaking, no, because a semi-regular tessellation must be based on regular polygons and rhombi are not regular polygons. However, octagons and rhombi can be used to make a non-regular tessellation.
Why do tessellations have to be used with only polygons?
All shapes have to be polygons, because there is no shape that has 1 or 2 sides. A tessellation has to be a shape, so that it can be repeated. Its not going to be much of a tessellation if its a line.. lol.. that isn't a tessellation

Regular Hexagon, Square, and Equilateral Triangle. (Apex)

What is a semi regular tessellation?
Semi-regular tessellation is a tessellation of the plane by 2 or more different convex regular polygons. A semi-regular tessellation combines two or more regular polygons. Each semi-regular tessellation has a tupelo, which designates what kind of regular polygon is used.
Can an octagon tessellate?
An octagon can be used to create a tessellation, but an octagon cannot tessellate on its own.
Which regular polygon can be used to form tessellation?
Triangle :)
Can a regular PENTAGON be used to make a tessellation?
No, it cannot.
Can a regular hexagon be used by itself to make a tessellation?
no
