The angle measures must sum to 360 in order for the figure to tessellate about a vertex.

We know from basic geometry that the sum of angles about a point is always
360^(\circ). Thus, in our case too this will remain the same and hence the angle will remain
360^(\circ).

Therefore, when tiles are tessellated in a plane, the angle measure sum that is required of the tiles surrounding a single point is always
360^(\circ).
