No because only polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 will tessellate.

For instance a regular pentagon will not tessellate because its interior angle is 108 degrees but a hexagon will tessellate because its interior angle is 120 degrees which is a factor of 360.

What are all the shapes that tessellate with themselfs?

All regular polygons whose interior angles are a factor of 360 degrees will tessellate with themselves


Do regular polygons tessellate?

Any polygon with external angles which are equal to a factor of 360 will tessellate. The only regular polygons which will tessellate are equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons.


How can you determine whether given shapes will make a tessellation?

There is no simple way.All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.In addition, there are concave polygons, and non-polygons which will tessellate.


Which of the polygons cannot be used to create a pure tessellation?

The only regular polygons which will tessellate are those with 3, 4 or 6 sides. But all irregular triangles, all irregular quadrilaterals, 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons and 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are concave polygons with different numbers of sides which will also tessellate.


What polygons were used to make the tessellation?

All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
