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.
1 because -2+3=1 hahahahahah it's telling me my answer needs to be at least 20 characters long :')
I think it’s 6/8. Really sorry if I’m wrong.
