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.

Can copies of a polygon be used to tile a surface?

Yes, copies of a polygon can be used to tile a surface, provided the polygon is a suitable shape. Regular polygons, like squares and equilateral triangles, can easily tile a plane without gaps or overlaps. However, some irregular polygons can also tile surfaces, depending on their angles and side lengths. The key requirement for a polygon to tile a surface is that it can cover the area without leaving any spaces between the tiles.

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.
