Best Answer

The only regular polygons which will tessellate are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides. But all irregular triangles, all irregular quadrilaterals, 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons and 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are concave polygons with different numbers of sides which will also tessellate.

What is a pure tessellation?

A pure tessellation is a tiling of a plane using one single type of regular polygon, such as triangles, squares, or hexagons, without any gaps or overlaps. The polygons fit together perfectly to cover the entire plane, creating a repeating pattern that extends infinitely in all directions. Pure tessellations are often found in art, architecture, and mathematics due to their aesthetic appeal and mathematical properties.
