Answer:

A tessellation is a pattern of shapes that covers a surface with no gaps or overlaps. A polygon tessellation is a pattern made by repeating a regular polygon. There are only three regular tessellations: triangles, squares, and hexagons.

A non-polygonal tessellation is a pattern made by repeating shapes that are not polygons. Non-regular tessellations are formed many times using polygons that are not regular.

I hope this helps!
