There are only three regular polygons which with tile. These a re a triangle, quadrilateral (square) and hexagon.
This is because if there are n tiles meeting at a point, then the sum of the angles around that point must be 360 degrees - otherwise the polygons will overlap. The only regular polygons with interior angles that are factors of 360 are the ones mentioned above.

How can you tell if a polygon will tile plane?
A regular polygon will tile it if its internal angle divides 360 degrees.
Can a regular polygon always tile the plane?
Not always
Is there a regular polygon with more then 6 sides that will fit in a tile plane?
Not by itself.
Is it possible to tile a floor with copies of a regular polygon?
Yes, but only with some polygons.
Is a hexagon a regular polygon or not a regular polygon?
A 6 sided hexagon polygon can be regular or irregular.

What is A polygon that is not regular?
its a not regular polygon
What is a polygon that has all congruent sides and all congruent angles?
a "regular" one
What is a regular polygon vs a not regular polygon?
A regular polygon is a polygon whose sides are equal length and whose angles are all the same value. A non regular polygon is just the opposite of a regular polygon.
Is a traingle a regular polygon or a polygon?
A triangle (not traingle) is a polygon. It can be a regular polygon but need not be.
What is the difference between a regular polygon and non-regular polygon?
All the sides of a regular polygon have the same length. If two or more sides of a polygon have different lengths, then the polygon is not regular.
Can a polygon be irregular or regular?
Yes, a regular polygon has all sides of equal length. An irregular polygon is any polygon that is not regular.
Is a trapozoid a regular polygon?
No a trapezoid is not a regular polygon
