To tessellate a surface using a regular polygon, the interior angle must be a sub-multiple (i.e. factor) of 360 degrees to cover completely the surface.
For a regular three-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/3)=60 °
Since 6*60=360, so a regular three-sided polygon (equilateral triangle) tessellates.
For a regular four-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/4)=90 °
Since 4*90=360, so a regular four-sided polygon (square) tessellates.
For a regular five-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/5)=108 °
Since 360/108=3.33... (not an integer), so a regular five-sided polygon (pentagon) does NOT tessellate.
For a regular six-sided polygon, the interior angle is (180-360/6)=120 °
Since 3*120=360, so a regular six-sided polygon (hexagon) tessellates.

Answer:
√a(√a + 2) a - 2√a
----------------- = -----------------
a - 4 a - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I am assuming that by "sqrt(a)/sqrt(a)-2" you meant:
√a
----------
√a - 2
To rationalize the denom., multiply numerator and denom. of this fraction by the conjugate of √a - 2, which is √a + 2:
√a(√a + 2)
-----------------
a - 4
Answer:
as a vertical line that passes through (-1,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
this line doesn't have a slope nor y-intercept and is parallel to the y-axis. its x-intercept should be (-1,0) and it should continue in both vertical directions from that point, passing through each coordinate pair where x = -1 [(-1,3); (-1,-5); etc]
