I CANNOT FIND THIS ANSWER ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET...CAN U HELP?
How many regular polygons does it take to tessellate a graph plane?How many regular polygons does it take to tessellate a graph plane?Hi,
Since the regular polygons in a tessellation must fill the plane at each vertex, the interior angle must be an exact divisor of 360 degrees. This works for the triangle, square, and hexagon, and you can show working tessellations for these figures. For all the others, the interior angles are not exact divisors of 360 degrees, and therefore those figures cannot tile the plane.
The number of polygons required depends on the size and type of polygon.
See websites below.
I hope that helps!! :-)
