Have a geometry problem I need help with.?

Ok so here it is. We’re dealing with tesselations. On the sheet it says ” List combinations of three or more regular polygons arranged that so adjacent angles sum to 360 degrees but they don’t form a semi regular tessellation” I have 2. Those two being:

#1 (2 pentagons and 1 Decagon) #2 (2 triangles 1 square and 1 12-gon). I need 5 more that do not tessellate.

One suggestion I have is to look at a good number of examples of semi regular tessellations so that you can see the null set for your answers. From seeing answers that DO tessellate you may be able to deduce examples that do NOT tessellate.

Lots of great examples on that page. Good luck!
