Only an equilateral triangle, square and a regular hexagon can be used to make regular tessellations but there are innumerable polygonal and non-polygonal shapes which will tessellate by themselves, and others which will tessellate along with other shapes.

What shape cannot be used by itself to form a tessellation?
A regular pentagon is one example.
Can an equilateral triangle be used to make a regular tessellation?
Yes.
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.
Can a square be used to make a regular tessellation?
Yes. For example a chess board.
Can a regular quadrilateral be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Tessellation is defined as the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions. A periodic tiling has a repeat pattern. A regular quadrilateral can be used by itself to make a tessellation.
Which shape cannot be used to make a regular tessellation?
Circles and simple ovals
What can be used to make a regular tessellation?
The only shapes which will make a regular tessellation are:an equilateral trianglea squarea regular hexagon.
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

Yes.

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.
Can a regular nonagon 1260 degrees be used by itself to make a tessellation?
No.
Can a square be used to make a regular tessellation?
Yes. For example a chess board.
Can a regular polygon with an angle measure 160 be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Yes it can
Can a regular quadrilateral be used by itself to make a tessellation?
Tessellation is defined as the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions. A periodic tiling has a repeat pattern. A regular quadrilateral can be used by itself to make a tessellation.
Which regular polygon can be used by itself to make a tessellation?
The only regular polygons are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
