Because their interior and exterior angles are the same measurements.

Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation. However, for polygons with any number of sides, there are irregular versions that can tessellate.
Certain polygons, yes. Squares, Triangles and Hexagons are all shapes which, in their regular form, can tessellate. Other polygons cannot.
A regular tessellation can only be formed by regular polygons with 3, 4, or 6 sides. These polygons are the equilateral triangle, square, and regular hexagon. Other polygons, such as pentagons or heptagons, cannot tessellate the plane without leaving gaps or overlaps. Thus, the applicable options for regular polygons in a regular tessellation are 3, 4, and 6 sides.
For regular polygons, the interior angle must be a factor of 360 degrees.Irregular triangles and quadrilaterals (whose angle sums are factors of 360 degrees) will tessellate. For other polygons, I am not aware of any simple rule.For regular polygons, the interior angle must be a factor of 360 degrees.Irregular triangles and quadrilaterals (whose angle sums are factors of 360 degrees) will tessellate.

-- All regular (equilateral) triangles are similar. -- All squares are similar. -- All pentagons are similar. -- All hexagons are similar. . . . etc. Any regular polygon is similar to all other regular polygons with the same number of sides.

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.

Square, rhombus, regular octagon, other regular polygons with 4n sides (where n is an integer).
Only if it is a regular tetrahedron, regular octahedron, or regular icosahedron. All other geodesics have isosceles triangle faces, not equilateral triangles.
The only regular polygon with an interior angle of 90 degrees is the square, which has four sides. Other polygons can have an interior angle of 90 degrees, but they would not be regular polygons.
