No. Regular tessellations use only one polygon.
And, according to the strict definition of regular tessellation, the polygon must be regular. Then a tessellation using rectangles, for example, cannot be called regular.
A tessellation that uses more than one type of regular polygon in an isogonal arrangement is known as a emu-regular tessellation. There are eight semi-regular tessellations that can be described by their vertex configuration.Ê
A regular polygon.
It depends on the shape of the surface Flat surface can be tiled by triangles, squares, and hexagons, these are the only combinations for the regular tessellations. semi-regular tessellations (where multiple polygons are used in the same tiling) There are in fact an infinite number of possible tessellations. All polygons can work from triangles to approaching a circle... a circle tiling would require an infinite number of infinitesimally small polygons around it, so you may or may not consider this a possibility. NOT all polygons can be in the same tessellations, for example triangles, heptagons, and 42-gons cannot be in a 1:1:1 ratio. In 3 dimensions regular polygons can be perfectly assembled into only 5 regular polyhedrons (3d version of polygon) (the platonic solids - these have been used to represent the elements, fire water, earth air and space) tetrahedron consists of 4 triangles cube (hexahedron) consists of 6 squares octahedron 8 triangles dodecahedron 12 pentagons icosahedron 20 triangles The hexagon didn't make it... possibly an infinite number of would assemble a sphere of infinite diameter, but this has never been included in any lists I've run across. In 4 dimensions, there are six convex 4-polytopes, called (polychorons), the smallest of which is called the pentatope, and is composes of 10 triangles, which can only be done in 4 dimensions, it can't be constructed under normal circumstances in our worlds. In 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 dimensions that are only 3 regular n-polytopes for each respectively... this may continue indefinitely but I don't know how to prove this, it's probably been done. If it does continue toward infinite dimensions that 2 and 3 dimensions are "special" and perhaps that is why we find ourselves in such a universe.
8 and it is called a regular octagon
A one thousand sided regular polygon is called a chiliagon.chiliagon (a polygon with 1000 sides)
the answer is true -apex
true
There are eight different types of semiregular tessellations. Also called Archimedean tessellations, they occur when two or more convex regular polygons form tessellations of the plane in a way each polygon vertex is surrounded by the same polygons and in the same order.

Shapes that fit perfectly together are called a tessellation.

M.C. Escher
They could be recurrences. In geometry, they may be tessellations, although these need not repeat.
He wrote The Regular Division of the Plane published in 1958. It was a description on how he created his tessellations and was illustrated. There was also a book called Escher on Escher which were the notes of a lecture series he was going to do before he became ill.
Tessellation is defined as the tiling of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. In mathematics, tessellations can be generalized to higher dimensions. A periodic tiling has a repeat pattern. A regular quadrilateral can be used by itself to make a tessellation.

A five-sided polygon is called a pentagon. A regular five-sided polygon is simply called a regular pentagon
