No, a regular isosceles triangle will not tessellate. In order for a shape to tessellate, it must be able to fit together with copies of itself without any gaps or overlaps. Regular isosceles triangles have angles of 90, 45, and 45 degrees, which do not allow for a repeating pattern that covers a plane without any spaces. Regular polygons that tessellate include equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons.

EzraThere is no such thing as a regular isosceles triangle. The only regular triangle is an equilateral triangle.
Having said that, any triangle will produce regular tessellation.

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.
What are the 3 regular polygons that tessellate?
square, equillateral triangle, & regular hexagon
Which regular polygon will tessellate alone?
An equilateral triangle, a square and a hexagon.
Can all regular polygons tessellate?
No only three can tesselate. they are: An equilateral triangle, a square and a 6 sided hexagon.
Is an isosceles triangle regular or irregular?
it is irregularIt is irregular although it has two equal sides
Can an isosceles triangle tessellate?
no
Does an isosceles triangle tessellate?
no
Can a isosceles triangle and a parallelogram tessellate?
Yes
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.
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.
Is isosceles triangle regular?
No.
Can an isosceles triangle and a parallelogram tessellate together?
Yes under certain dimensional conditions.
What is the difference between an isosceles and a regular triangle?
An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and one that isn't. A regular triangle has three equal sides.
What are the 3 regular polygons that tessellate?
square, equillateral triangle, & regular hexagon
Is a isosceles acute triangle a regular polygon?
A regular polygon is one which has all equal sides. But in an isosceles triangle, only 2 sides are equal. The third side has a different measure.Thus an isosceles acute triangle is not a regular polygon.
Can irregular polygons tessellate?
Some can, but not all. For example, rhombi, rhomboids, oblongs, and isosceles triangles can tessellate; however, most irregular polygons cannot. * * * * * True, but an incomplete answer. All triangles and quadrilaterals, whether regular or irregular, will tessellate. No regular pentagon will tessellate but (as of 2016), there are 15 irregular pentagons which will tessellate. There are 3 convex hexagons, (regular and 2 irregular) which will tessellate. No polygon with 7 or more sides, even if it is regular, will tessellate.
Will a regulr triangle tessilate?
Yes a regular triangle will tessellate as will all other types of triangles.
