What types of polygons make up a tessellation?

Any polygon will have versions that will tessellate.


How many sides does regular exterior polygon have?

There is no such thing as an exterior polygon. "Exterior" means outer. Polygons can have exterior angles, but that is about it!A regular polygon can have 3 or more sides - up to infinitely many.There is no such thing as an exterior polygon. "Exterior" means outer.

What is a net in maths?

A net is an arrangement of polygons, joined edge-to-edge, that when folded up, form the surface of a polyhedron.


What ancient Greek mathematician came up with an approximate value for pi by circumscribing and inscribing circles in and around regular polygons?

Archimedes (287-212 BC) was the first to estimate π rigorously. He realized that its magnitude can be bounded from below and above by inscribing circles in regular polygons and calculating the outer and inner polygons' respective perimeters. By using the equivalent of 96-sided polygons, he proved that 310/71< π < 31/7. The average of these values is about 3.14185.


What is a figure made up of more than one geometric shape is called an?

There is no specific name. The resulting shape depends on the relative sizes and shapes of the original gemetric shapes and how they are used to "make up" a shape. For example, two rectangles can make up one rectangles, a hexagon, a heptagon, an octagon, a nonagon, a dodecagon, a triskaidecagon (13) or a hexadecagon (16). There may be others. Using more shapes or more complicated ones will greatly increase the number of possible outcomes. Furthermore, there is no reason to be restricted to polygons.
