To tessellate a surface using a regular polygon, the interior angle must be a sub-multiple (i.e. factor) of 360 degrees to cover completely the surface.

For a regular three-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/3)=60 °
       Since 6*60=360, so a regular three-sided polygon (equilateral triangle)            tessellates.
For a regular four-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/4)=90 °
       Since 4*90=360, so a regular four-sided polygon (square) tessellates.
For a regular five-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/5)=108 °
       Since 360/108=3.33... (not an integer), so a regular five-sided polygon           (pentagon) does NOT tessellate.
For a regular six-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/6)=120 °
       Since 3*120=360, so a regular six-sided polygon (hexagon) tessellates.

In the rectangle below AC has a length of 28. What is the length of ED? If necessary, round your answer to two decimals places.
expeople1 [14]
<span>The diagonals of a rectangle have equal lengths. Since AC has a length of 28, and AC is a diagonal, the other diagonal BD also has a length of 28. The diagonals of a rectangle also bisect each other. So diagonal BD is bisected by the other diagonal AC at point E. And since diagonal BD has a length of 28 then BE and ED both have a length which is of 28, or 14 each.

Answer: ED has a length of 14.</span>
