CHARACTERISTICS OF REGULAR POLYGON WHICH CAN TESSELLATE:
1. Polygon must be regular convex polygon which means that every angle and sides are equal in measurement.
2. Measurement of every corner angle must be divisible by 360, thus, (n-2) | 2n.
3. Polygon must have the number of sides of either 3, 4, or 6.

What is the difference between a regular polygon and non-regular polygon?
All the sides of a regular polygon have the same length. If two or more sides of a polygon have different lengths, then the polygon is not regular.
What shape has all equal sides?
An equilateral polygon. All regular polygons, being equilateral, will have equal sides but it is not necessary that they are regular. A rhombus, for example, is equilateral but not regular.
Who many angles does a Irregular polygon have?
an irregular polygon is a polygon that is the opposite of a regular polygon in a regular polygon the sides are the same and the angles are the same and irregular is the opposite.
Why is an equilateral polygon not necessarily a regular polygon?
A regular polygon must be equiangular as well as equilateral. A rhombus is an example of a polygon that is equilateral but not equiangular.
What does it mean when you say a polygon is regular?
A polygon is regular when all its sides are the same length and its internal angles are the same. It is said to be equilateral and equiangular, and that is what a polygon is when it is regular.
Write a statement describes regular polygons that can tessellate by themselves?
Each interior angle of a regular polygon that tessellates by itself is a factor of 360°.
Is it possible to draw a hexagon that is not regular that tessellates?
no
What are the description of the characteristic of a regular polygon?
If all angle measures and side lengths of a polygon are equal, that polygon can be described as regular. (e.g. each pentagon angle=108˚)
Will a 15-gon tessellate?
No To find out if a regular polygon tessellates you have to do A=180(sides-2) all over 2. Then you do 360/answer and if it is a whole number it does tessellate. * * * * * Correct answer but the reasoning is limited to regular polygons. According to that logic, a pentagon should not tessellate. But there are 15 pentagons (all irregular) which will.
Is a hexagon a regular polygon or not a regular polygon?
A 6 sided hexagon polygon can be regular or irregular.
What is A polygon that is not regular?
its a not regular polygon
What is a polygon that has all congruent sides and all congruent angles?
a "regular" one
What is a regular polygon vs a not regular polygon?
A regular polygon is a polygon whose sides are equal length and whose angles are all the same value. A non regular polygon is just the opposite of a regular polygon.
Is a traingle a regular polygon or a polygon?
A triangle (not traingle) is a polygon. It can be a regular polygon but need not be.
What is the difference between a regular polygon and non-regular polygon?
All the sides of a regular polygon have the same length. If two or more sides of a polygon have different lengths, then the polygon is not regular.
Can a polygon be irregular or regular?
Yes, a regular polygon has all sides of equal length. An irregular polygon is any polygon that is not regular.
Is a trapazoid a regular polygon?
A trapezoid is not a regular polygon.
