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?
