Best Answer

Pentagons, decagons, and octagons will not tessellate. In order to create a tessellation, the sum of the angles at a point must be 360.

How can you tell if a regular shape will tessellate?

It will tessellate if its vertices divide into 360 degrees evenly. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are an equilateral triangle, a square and a regular hexagon. There are other, non-regular, polygons that will tessellate.

Which polygons cannot be used to form a regular tesselation?

Most regular polygons will not tessellate but if their interior angles is a factor of 360 degrees then they will tessellate or if their angles around a point add up to 360 degrees then they also will tessellate.


Will all polygons tessellate?

No because only polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 will tessellate. For instance a regular pentagon will not tessellate because its interior angle is 108 degrees but a hexagon will tessellate because its interior angle is 120 degrees which is a factor of 360.


Is it true that you can tessellate seven-sided polygons by themselves?
