What necessary characteristic must a regular polygon have if it tessellates a plane?
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.
