Which regular polygons will fit together to tile a flat surface?
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.
What regular polygons can not be use to tile a floor by itself?
Bone
Can a regular tessellation use four different regular polygons to cover a surface?
No. Four regular polygons cannot be combined for this purpose.
Is it possible to tile a floor with copies of a regular polygon?
Yes, but only with some polygons.
Will a regular polygon tile?
There are only three regular polygons which with tile. These a re a triangle, quadrilateral (square) and hexagon.This is because if there are n tiles meeting at a point, then the sum of the angles around that point must be 360 degrees - otherwise the polygons will overlap. The only regular polygons with interior angles that are factors of 360 are the ones mentioned above.
What regular polygons can not tile a surface?
Regular polygons with 5, 7 or more sides.

What are all the regular polygons that tile?
The only ones are equilateral triangles, squares and regular hexagons.

A regular tessellation is a tessellation which uses regular polygons to cover a surface completely?
one
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.
Can you tile a surface with a regular hexagon?
Yes you can. Envision a beehive - it is made of regular hexagons.
Which polygons will tile the plane?
If it's interior angle is a factor of 360 then it will tessellate such as a square, a regular hexagon and an equilateral triangle.
What are polygons that are regular polygons?
regular polygons are the ones that all sides are equal
