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.

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 triangle tile?
Yes a triangle will tessellate leaving no gaps or overlaps
Will a regular isosceles triangle tessellate?
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.
Which regular polygon will tessellate alone?
An equilateral triangle, a square and a hexagon.
What are the 3 regular polygons that tessellate?
square, equillateral triangle, & regular hexagon
