Let d represent the number of degrees in one angle of a regular polygon, and n represent the number polygons to tessellate. Which equation can be used to determine if the polygon will tessellate?

360° ·n=d
360° ÷n=d
360° ÷d=n
n+d= 360°

So for like a regular hexagon, whose angles are 120, you need 360/120 = 3 hexagons for tessellation.

If you don't get a whole number for n, then it doesn't tessellate.

That really helps alot I was kinda lost about tessellation x .x Thanks alot c:
