Regular tessellations can be made using triangles, squares, and hexagons.

Non-regular tessellations is a tessellation in which there is no restriction on the order of the polygons around vertices. There is an infinite number of such tessellations. These are tessellations with nonregular simple convex or concave polygons. All triangles and quadrilaterals will tessellate. Some pentagons and hexagons will.
Its trigonometry. Tessellations are shapes.
There isn't just one square tessellation .... there can be many. You will have to look up some or make your own. But squares CAN be used in tessellations, if that is your question.
Tessellations
Tessellations of regular polygons can occur only when the external angle of a polygon is equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only tessellations of regular polygons can occur when the internal angles of a polygon are equal to a factor of 360. As such, the only regular polygons which tessellate are triangles, squares, and hexagons.
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.
It means with irregular polygons
All sorts of polygons can create tessellations. See attached link for some examples: http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation
All shapes have to be polygons, because there is no shape that has 1 or 2 sides. A tessellation has to be a shape, so that it can be repeated. Its not going to be much of a tessellation if its a line.. lol.. that isn't a tessellation
No. Squares and regular hexagons, both with an even number of sides, can make regular tessellations.
No. Squares and regular hexagons, both with an even number of sides, can make regular tessellations.
All tessellations, involve inlaying, its the materials used and the designs applied that make the difference.

Actually, tessellations that use more than one type of regular polygon are called semi-regular or Archimedean tessellations, not regular tessellations. Regular tessellations consist of only one type of regular polygon repeating in a pattern. Examples of regular tessellations include those formed by equilateral triangles, squares, or hexagons. Semi-regular tessellations combine two or more different types of regular polygons while still covering a plane without gaps or overlaps.
Three important rules about tessellations are: first, the shapes used must fit together without any gaps or overlaps. Second, the angles of the shapes must add up to 360 degrees at each vertex where they meet. Lastly, tessellations can be made using regular polygons, irregular shapes, or a combination of both, as long as they adhere to the first two rules.
