How can regular polygons be used to create tessellations?
Regular polygons can tessellate a plane because their interior angles add up to 360 degrees.
Regular polygons tessellate a plane because their interior angles add up to 180 degrees.
Regular polygons cannot tessellate a plane due to their uneven sides.

Explain how to create a tessellation using regular triangles.
Start with a square shape to create the tessellation
Use irregular triangles to create the tessellation
Start with an equilateral triangle and replicate it to cover the surface without gaps or overlaps.
Overlap the triangles to create the tessellation

720 degrees
540 degrees
620 degrees
800 degrees
Which regular polygon has an interior angle of 120 degrees?

Describe the process of creating a tessellation using regular squares.
The process involves randomly placing squares on the plane.
To make a tessellation with squares, you must rotate them at different angles.
Creating a tessellation with squares requires using circles instead.
The process involves replicating a square by translating it to cover the plane without gaps or overlaps.
