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.

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.
