The tessellating polygons must meet at a point. At that point, the sum of the interior angles of the polygons must 360 degrees - the sum of angles around any point. Therefore, each interior angle must divide 360 evenly. The interior angles of regular polygons with 7 or more sides lie in the range (120, 180) degrees and so cannot divide 360.

Can you tessellate eight sided regular polygons by themselves?
No, they will not fit together, you will also need a square with sides equal in length to the sides of the octagon.
What are polygons with all equal sides and angles called?
They are known as regular polygons.
The corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal lenghts?
Yes, the corresponding sides of two similar regular polygons must have equal lengths. This is because both the polygons are similar, which means that since they are also polygons, they must have equal lengths.
Which shapes have a parallel sides?
All regular polygons with an even number of sides. Irregular polygons with an odd number of sides can have parallel sides. There are also non polygonal shapes that can have parallel sides.
Only regular polygons with an even number of sides can make a regular tessellation?
false
