Given information:
Consider regular pentagon.
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 pentagon has
The sum of angles in pentagon is
The measure of each angle is
The number of polygons can tessellate
