To find: whether the tessellation is possible or not with the given regular
Answer to Problem 4BGP
The regular octagon tessellation is not possible.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Consider regular octagon
Concept used:
Regular tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular polygon.
Regular polygon has all equal sides and equal interior angles.
Calculation:
The regular octagon has
The sum of angles in octagon is
The measure of each angle is
The number of polygons can tessellate
The number of polygons is not a round figure.
Hence,
The regular octagon tessellation is not possible.
