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
You cannot tessellate five-sided regular polygons by themselves?
Mostly true - you cannot tessellate only regular pentagons in two dimensions, since you cannot sum up the intersection of the angles to 360 degrees. If you tessellate a regular pentagon in three dimensions, you end up with a dodecahedron.
Can a pentagon tesselate?
Type your answer here... yes As of late 2016, there are 15 irregular pentagons which will tessellate.
What shape can't you tessellate?
A regular pentagon will not tessellate.
Will a regular pentagon and rectangle tessellate?
No
Which regular polygon will not tessellate by itself?
A regular pentagon
Why doesn't the regular pentagon tessellate?
A regular pentagon doesn't tessellate because of the way the sides are joined together and hes shape of the regular pentagon.Something along those lines anyway.....

Can a regular pentagon tessellate without overlaps or gaps?
the answer is yes
Can a regular pentagon tessellate by it self?
no. only irregular pentalgons can tesselate
Does a regular pentagon tessellate a plane with no overlaps or gaps?
yes no yes no
Can regular pentagon tessellate by themselves?
"yes"The answer above is incorrect. it was proven hundreds of years ago that regular pentagons do NOT tessellate. there are methods for tessellating pentagons, but they are not regularpentagons.yes the answer in the middle is write polygons can not tessellate
Do Congruent regular pentagon's tessellate a plane?
No because the angles are not factors of 360 degrees
Can you tessellate a triangle and a pentagon together?
yes you can tessellate a triangle and a pentagon together.
Why do shapes tessellate?
Shapes tessellate to fit around an interior angle. They also tessellate because they are regular polygons; non-regular polygons cannot tessellate. * * * * * Not correct. All triangles and quadrilaterals will tessellate, whether regular or irregular. Contrary to the above answer, a regular pentagon will not tessellate but there are 14 different irregular pentagons which will tessellate (the last was discovered in 2015). Three convex hexagons will do so as well. No polygon of 7 or more sides will tessellate - whether they are regular (contrary to the above answer) or irregular.
