Why do polygons fit together to cover a flat surface?
Only when they tessellate.
Are the faces of a polyhedron all flat surfaces?
Yes and its flat surface faces are in regular shapes.
What is a flat closed surface that has congruent and parallel opposite sides?
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.
Why is the shape of a football not a polygon?
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.
How many polygons does a cone have?
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.

Can regular pentagons and regular hexagons tile a flat surface?
Regular pentagons cannot tile a flat surface without leaving gaps, as their internal angles (108 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit. In contrast, regular hexagons can tile a flat surface efficiently because their internal angles (120 degrees) allow them to fit together perfectly without any gaps. Thus, while hexagons are capable of tiling, pentagons are not.
Can squares and regular octagons tile a flat surface?
Yes, squares can tile a flat surface because their equal sides and right angles allow them to fit together without any gaps. Regular octagons, however, cannot tile a flat surface by themselves because their angles (135 degrees) do not allow for a perfect fit without leaving gaps. However, a combination of squares and octagons can tile a flat surface, as the squares can fill in the gaps created by the octagons. This arrangement is known as a semi-regular tiling.
Can a octagon tile a flat surface alone?
A regular octagon cannot tile a flat surface, it needs squares as fillers. An irregular octagon can tile a flat surface alone.
Show pictures of different polygons?
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.
What of the following combinations will tile a flat surface?
To determine which combinations will tile a flat surface, you need to check if the shapes can cover the area without gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons like squares, equilateral triangles, and hexagons can tile a flat surface effectively. Some irregular shapes can also tile, but their specific arrangements must be analyzed. Generally, the key is that the interior angles of the shapes must add up to 360 degrees around a point where they meet.
when used together, perspective and color variation create what effects for the viewer?
The illusion of depth on a flat surface.
Can regular pentagons and regular hexagons fit together to rip 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.
