Regular+Tessellation

A tessellation is the process of creating a 2-dimensional plane using the repetition of geometric shapes.

A regular tessellation means a tessellation made of congruent regular polygons.

A 2-dimensional tessellation of regular polygons.

The pattern is identical at each vertex (corner point).

The polygons do not overlap and there should not be any spaces between them.

-Examples are a tiled bathroom/kitchen floor or a bee's honeycomb.

Regular polygons have 3 or more sides and angles and should be equaled.

__*Here are a list of polygons that do and do not tessellate: __
 * **Do Tessellate ** || **Do Not Tessellate ** ||
 * Equilateral Triangles || Regular Pentagons ||
 * Squares || Heptagons ||
 * Regular Hexagons ||  ||
