Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations?

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.

Tessellation that use more than one type of regular polygon are called semi-regular tessellations?
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
What is convex equilateral equiangular polygon called?
A regular polygon.
Which regular polygons will fit together to tile a surface?
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.
If an exterior angle of a regular polygon measures 45 degrees how many sides does the polygon have?
8 and it is called a regular octagon
What is a 1000 sided shape called?
A one thousand sided regular polygon is called a chiliagon.chiliagon (a polygon with 1000 sides)
Are tessellations that use only one type of regular polygon called semi regular tessellations?
the answer is true -apex
Tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called regular tessellations A True B False?
true
How many different types of semiregular tessellations are there?
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.

What are shapes that fit together with no gaps called?
Shapes that fit perfectly together are called a tessellation.
Tessellations that use only one type of regular polygon are called semi regular tessellations?
False
What artist drew a famous painting called Day and Night using tessellations?
M.C. Escher
What are repeated arrangements called in math?
They could be recurrences. In geometry, they may be tessellations, although these need not repeat.
Did Maurits Escher write any books?
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.
Can a regular quadrilateral be used by itself to make a tessellation?
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.
What is a five-sided polygon?
A five-sided polygon is called a pentagon. A regular five-sided polygon is simply called a regular pentagon
What shape tessellates?
A Tessellationis 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.
