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.
Only when they tessellate.
Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.
That could be numerous polygons: a square, a regular hexagon, a regular octagon, a regular dodecagon ... Any regular polygon with an even number of sides could be your answer.
A football has a curved surface and polygons are flat. You can approximate a curved surface quite well if you use enough polygons but each polygon will still be flat and a football does have a curved (and rough) surface. Using a few thousand polygons you can create an approximation of a football with stitching seams and every detail but you will not have a curved surface you will have an approximation of a curved surface.
None. A cone is a surface of revolution and thus it has no flat sides. Polygons are planar figures. A cone has no planar faces.

A regular octagon cannot tile a flat surface, it needs squares as fillers. An irregular octagon can tile a flat surface alone.
we have 9 diffrent kind of polygons. Each polygon has a diffrent amount of line segments. a polygon is a flat figure and has no gapes.
The illusion of depth on a flat surface.
Yes, regular pentagons and regular hexagons can fit together to tile a flat surface. This combination can create a tessellation pattern where the pentagons and hexagons alternate, filling the space without any gaps. However, it requires careful arrangement and specific angles to achieve a seamless fit, as the internal angles of these shapes are different. Generally, this type of tiling is more complex than using just one type of polygon.
Polygons are flat shapes
Polygons are flat shapes with many sides
calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
