All sorts of polygons can create tessellations. See attached link for some examples: http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tessellation
What else can I help you with?
What is used to create a regular tessellation?
The only shapes which can be used for a regular tessellation are:An equilateral triangle,A squareA regular hexagon.There are also non-regular polygons as well as shapes which are not polygons which can tessellate
What tessellation is formed by using regular polygons?
A regular tessellation or semi-regular tessellation or none.
What polygons cannot be used to create a pure tessellation?
Polygons that cannot create a pure tessellation include those with angles that do not divide evenly into 360 degrees. This primarily includes irregular polygons and certain convex polygons such as triangles with angles that do not meet this criterion. Additionally, polygons like circles, which do not have straight edges, also cannot tessellate. Regular polygons like triangles, squares, and hexagons can tessellate, as their angles fit together without gaps.
How do you classify the polygons that are used to create each tessellation?
There are regular polygons (with 3, 4 and 6 sides).There are irregular convex polygons (with 3, 4, 5 or 6 sides). There are [irregular] concave polygons with various numbers of sides.
A regular tessellation is a tessellation which uses regular polygons to cover a surface completely?
one
What is a regualr tessellation?
A regular tessellation is when polygons are joined together leaving no gaps or overlaps
Why do tessellations have to be used with only polygons?
All shapes have to be polygons, because there is no shape that has 1 or 2 sides. A tessellation has to be a shape, so that it can be repeated. Its not going to be much of a tessellation if its a line.. lol.. that isn't a tessellation
Which polygons do not tessellate?
Pentagons, decagons, and octagons will not tessellate. In order to create a tessellation, the sum of the angles at a point must be 360.
What is the tessellation that uses more than one kind of regular polygons?
It is a semi-regular tessellation.
What regular polygons can be put in a tessellation?
Regular polygons with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
Which polygon will not tessellate a plane?
Most regular polygons will not - by themselves. In fact, of the regular polygons, only a triangle, square and hexagon will. No other regular polygon will create a regular tessellation.
What would a semi regular tessellation have?
It is a tessellation which uses two regular polygons. For example, octagons and squares.
