Do octagons tessellate?
No it does not tessellate you have to pentagons in order for it to tessellate. * * * * * It is not at all clear what "have to pentagons" has to do with this. No polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate. Octagons will tessellate if mixed with squares but that is not "proper" tessellation since it involved more than one shape.
It's possible to tessellate a plane with?
It is possible to tessellate a plane with squares, triangles, and hexagons. To tessellate something means to cover it with repeated use of a single shape, without gaps or overlapping.
Will a triangle tessellate?
No, a triangle will not tessellate by itself. In order for a shape to tessellate, it must be able to fit together with copies of itself without any gaps or overlaps. Triangles have angles that add up to 180 degrees, which does not allow them to fit together seamlessly to create a tessellation. Shapes like squares, hexagons, and equilateral triangles can tessellate because their angles allow them to fit together perfectly.
Is there such thing as a 3D hexagon?
Yes!!!! It's names a 'HEXAHEDRON'. A CUBE is one such object. NB In the nomenclature (naming system). 'Hexa' is '6' from Latin. '--gon' is a 2 dimensional figure. (As IN POLYGON ; many sides). '--hedron- is a 3 dimensional solid. (As in POLYHEDRON ; many faces).
Does a diamond tessellate?
yes... this figure does tessellate
Can heptagon shape tessellate?
No.
How 3D shape tessellate?
Some 3D shapes will tessellate as for example a brick wall
Can a T-shape tessellate?
Yes
Will the shape of a light bulb tessellate?
No
Which regular shape will not tessellate?
transversal
Will a kite shape a tessellate?
Yes because all 4 sided quadrilaterals will tessellate
Does pentagon shape tessellate?
Yes it does tesselate.
Can a pizza slice shape tessellate?
Usually not. A part of a circular shape will not.
Do octagons tessellate?
No it does not tessellate you have to pentagons in order for it to tessellate. * * * * * It is not at all clear what "have to pentagons" has to do with this.

How can you tell if a regular shape will tessellate?
It will tessellate if its vertices divide into 360 degrees evenly. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are an equilateral triangle, a square and a regular hexagon. There are other, non-regular, polygons that will tessellate.
How can you determine if a geometric shape can tessellate?
Any shape tesselates any of its covering spaces.
What shape can be used to create a regular tessellation?
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
