Oh, what a happy little question! Unfortunately, a pentagon and a square won't tessellate perfectly together because their angles and sides are different. But don't worry, there are other shapes that can tessellate beautifully and create wonderful patterns. Just keep exploring and painting your tessellation world with different shapes and colors!

LaoNot a regular pentagon (equal sides) and square. But suppose the pentagons are shaped like a child's drawing of a house: a square with a triangle on top where the triangle is a right isosceles triangle (90, 45, 45 deg).
Align a line of these pentagons with their "rooves" facing up. Next put a second row of inverted pentagons on top - apex-to-apex. The holes left will be squares. So tessellate away.

What shape can't you tessellate?
A regular pentagon will not tessellate.
Which regular polygon will not tessellate by itself?
A regular pentagon
Does a square tessellate?
Yes.
Will a square tessellate?
Yes, it will.
Does regular heptagon tessellate?
True * * * * * No. The only regular polygons that will tessellate are a triangle, a square and a heagon. So a regular heptagon will not tessellate.
Can a square and a pentagon tessellate?
No, a square and a pentagon cannot tessellate together. In order for two shapes to tessellate, their angles must add up to a multiple of 360 degrees. A square has angles of 90 degrees, while a regular pentagon has angles of 108 degrees. Since 90 and 108 do not add up to a multiple of 360, these shapes cannot tessellate together.
Can you tessellate a triangle and a pentagon together?
yes you can tessellate a triangle and a pentagon together.
What shape can't you tessellate?
A regular pentagon will not tessellate.

Will a regular pentagon tessellate?
no
Will a regular pentagon and rectangle tessellate?
No
Why dont pentagons tessellate?
all sides have to be equal to tessellate .so the answer depends on the pentagon
Why does a pentagon and a triangle tessellate?
They can in some configurations.
Does pentagon shape tessellate?
Yes it does tesselate.
Which figure can not be used as a tessellation a square or a triangle or a pentagon or a hexagon?
All of them can be used.Any triangle or quadrilateral will tessellate. There are 15 classes of irregular convex pentagons which will tessellate. Regular hexagons and 32 classes of irregular convex hexagons will tessellate. There are also concave pentagonal and hexagonal shapes which will tessellate.
Will a square and a circle tessellate?
A square will tessellate leaving no gaps or overlaps but a circle does not tessellate.
