They tessellate because one of their interior angles is exactly 120 degrees provided that it is a regular polygon. Since this is exactly a third of a full circle, three of them will always create a 360 degree angle in the center. When you repeat this pattern, they form multiple 360 degree angles, which forms a tessellation. This is true with any polygon that has an interior angle that is a factor of 360, and this is why pentagons do not tessellate.
Yes; it will form a honey-comb shape. <http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/tess/bighex.gif> for image.
because the outline of France is like the shape of a hexagon
the general shape of France is roughly that of an hexagon.
the word hexagon is used as an alternative name for France itself because of the general shape of the country, which fits (very roughly) in an hexagon.
Metropolitan France is often referred to a 'l'Hexagone, and is indeed roughly hexagonal in shape.
A regular hexagon will tessellate.
A regular hexagon and some irregular ones will tessellate, But in general they will not.
A regular hexagon will tessellate. Other hexagons may or may not tessellate.
If it's a regular hexagon it will tessellate.
Hexagon: Yes Circle: No
no
Yes.
Yes, a regular hexagon does tessellate.
Yes, hexagons will tessellate.
It can, but in general will not.
No, a hexagon is not a tessellation. Some hexagons can tessellate a plane, others will not.
No, only some can.
