I have got the following task here:
Prove, that you can't cover the "Plane" with convex polygons, which have more than $\,6\,$ vertices!
The answer is pretty obvious for $\,n=3\,$ vertices, because $ 6\cdot 60^\circ = 360^\circ$.
For $\,n=4\,$ it works too, because $4\cdot 90^\circ = 360^\circ$.
I think that $\,n=6\,$ is good too, but how do I prove, that other than that, it isn't possible to do that?
I'm going to assume you mean tiling the plane with copies of the same regular $n$-gon; so we can't mix squares and hexagons, for example.
Why are $60^\circ, 90^\circ,$ and $120^\circ$ (for a hexagon) important, feature of the polygon do they measure?
What the corresponding angles be, if we consider a regular $n$-gon, where $n > 6$? Would angles like that make sense, in a tiling situation?
