Do congruent regular hexagons tessellate a plane?
yes -novanet
What plane shapes can you make out of a hexagon?
Out of a hexagon, only a hexagon.If you have many hexagons, they can tessellate a plane, although the boundaries of this shape will be concave in parts.Out of a hexagon, only a hexagon.If you have many hexagons, they can tessellate a plane, although the boundaries of this shape will be concave in parts.Out of a hexagon, only a hexagon.If you have many hexagons, they can tessellate a plane, although the boundaries of this shape will be concave in parts.Out of a hexagon, only a hexagon.If you have many hexagons, they can tessellate a plane, although the boundaries of this shape will be concave in parts.
Does a decagon tessellate a plane?
No. No shape with 7 or more sides will tessellate with multiple copies of itself. All traigles and quadrilaterals will tessellate, there are 14 irregular pentagons (the last was discovered in 2016), and a number of hexagons - including the regular hexagon.
Why is it that only quadrilaterals triangles and hexagons can tessellate the plane?
There can be no answer because the assertion is not true. There are 15 types of convex pentagons - the last discovered in 2015 - which will tessellate.
Can a regular octagon tessellate the plane by itself?
No
