The only regular polygons which will tile by themselves are triangles, squares, and hexagons.

A tessellation or tiling of the plane is a collection of plane figures that fills the plane with no overlaps and no gaps. The only regular polygons which will tile by themselves are triangles, squares, and hexagons. The angles at each vertex need to total 360 °.
