Best Answer

A square has vertices which form 90 degree angles. Four of these can meet at a point and cover 360 degrees. This ensures than there are no wedge shaped gaps or overlaps at the points where the tessera meet. Also, the side lengths are all the same, so there are no gaps or overlaps along the side lengths.
