Can a square and a pentagon tessellate?
No, a square and a pentagon cannot tessellate together. In order for two shapes to tessellate, their angles must add up to a multiple of 360 degrees. A square has angles of 90 degrees, while a regular pentagon has angles of 108 degrees. Since 90 and 108 do not add up to a multiple of 360, these shapes cannot tessellate together.
Does a regular pentagon tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
yes no yes no
Do Congruent regular pentagon's tessellate a plane?
No because the angles are not factors of 360 degrees
Can pentagon and square tessellate together?
No, a regular pentagon and a square cannot tessellate together. While squares can tessellate on their own, pentagons have angles that do not allow them to fit together with squares without leaving gaps. The internal angles of a regular pentagon are 108 degrees, while those of a square are 90 degrees, making it impossible to create a continuous tiling without overlaps or spaces.
