Why can't circles tessellate?
For a shape to tile a plane, it must be capable of sharing a border with a copy of itself. Circles cannot do this; two circles which do not overlap touch in at most one point.
Does a diamond tessellate?
yes... this figure does tessellate
Do octagons tessellate?
No it does not tessellate you have to pentagons in order for it to tessellate. * * * * * It is not at all clear what "have to pentagons" has to do with this. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate. Octagons will tessellate if mixed with squares but that is not "proper" tessellation since it involved more than one shape.
What shape can't you tessellate?
A regular pentagon will not tessellate.
Will a hexagon tile tessellate?
A regular hexagon will tessellate.
What shapes do not tessellate a plane?
circles and octagon do not tessellate as they overlap each other or leave spaces between them.
What shapes cannot tessellate?
There are many shapes: circles, ellipses, ovals (elongated circles), cardioids, any shape with a "hole" in it such as a annulus.Polygons will tessellate if combined with other suitable polygons.
Why don't circle and a rombus tessellate?
There will always be a gap between any three circles and so they cannot tessellate.Rhombi, alone, WILL tessellate.
Can semi circles tessellate?
Semi circles cannot tessellate on their own because they do not have a consistent straight edge to fit together seamlessly without gaps or overlaps. In order to tessellate, a shape must be able to fill a plane without any overlaps or gaps. However, semi circles can be combined with other shapes to create a tessellation, such as alternating semi circles with squares or triangles.
Why can't circles tessellate?

Can a triangle and a circle tessellate together?
No. Circles lack straight edges, and thus cannot tesselate with triangles.
What shapes do not tessellate?
Shapes such as circles, regular pentagons, and heptagons.Most regular polygons will not tessellate on their own. Only triangles, squares and hexagons will.With irregular polygons there is more of a choice. All isosceles or scalene triangles, parallelograms, trapeziums and kites will tessellate as will some higher order polygons.
Can a cone tessellate?
No cones can not tessellate.
Will a square and a circle tessellate?
A square will tessellate leaving no gaps or overlaps but a circle does not tessellate.
Can a star tessellate?
Yes * * * * * No. A star will not tessellate.
Does a diamond tessellate?
yes... this figure does tessellate
Can a regular octagon tessellate?
No, it can't be tessellate.
