Answer with explanation:

A Tessellation is a Regular Pattern made by joining Polygons repeatedly. There Should be no overlap or gap between the polygons whom we are joining to form Tessellation.

A Regular Tessellation is Formed when we join Regular polygons.It is not necessary that the regular Polygons we are using should have odd number of sides.We can use any of the regular Polygon.The regular Polygon that we use to form Regular Tessellation is

1.→Equilateral Triangle=3 Sides

2.→Square=4 Sides

3.→Hexagon =6 Sides

The Statement: →Only regular polygons with an odd number of sides can make a regular tessellation is False Statement.

A regular tessellation is a composite figure consisting of regular polygons, These are n-sided polygons with equal lengths. So, this statement is false due to the restriction of number of sides. Any regular polygon can be made into a regular tessellation.
