1.   Which characteristic of a regular polygon is used to determine if it tessellates?
    A. The polygon has an even number of sides and angles. B. The angle measure at each vertex is a factor of 360.
    C. The angle measure at each vertex is less than 180. D. The sum of the measures of the angles is a multiple of 360.
    Hint

    A. 144° B. 150°
    C. 90° D. 135°
    Hint

  3.   The sum of the measures of the angles of a regular octagon is 1080°. What is the measure of each angle?
    A. 135° B. 120°
    C. 108° D. 144°
    Hint

  4.   In the tessellation shown below, name the polygons and determine how many of each type are at each vertex.
   
    A. 4 octagons and 1 square B. 1 octagon and 2 squares
    C. 2 octagons and 1 square D. 1 octagon and 4 squares
    Hint

  5.   In the tessellation below, name the polygons and determine how many of each type are at each vertex.
