<h2>Answer:</h2>

The equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons tessellate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tessellation means when a plane surface is covered with a single shape, without gaps or overlapping the shape.

If the shape is equal from all sides, it will fit together when it is repeated. This is the reason only regular polygons tessellate. When we translate or slide any regular polygon, the sides of both the original and translated shape will be equal.

This is the reason, equilateral triangles, squares, and regular hexagons tessellate.
