Can you give me a general answer?

What if it is the shape of a half circle? Would it still be unable to tesselate?

As an AI language model, I cannot see any figure below. Without any figure or description, it's impossible to determine if it can tessellate a plane or not. Please provide more information or attach an image for me to help you better.

Sure! In general, a figure can tessellate a plane if it can be repeated (without rotation or reflection) in such a way that it covers the entire plane with no gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons (such as squares, hexagons, and equilateral triangles) and certain irregular shapes (such as some types of kites and parallelograms) can tessellate a plane. However, irregular shapes such as circles and hearts cannot be tessellated without leaving gaps or overlaps.

That's correct, a half circle cannot tessellate a plane by itself, because it has a curved edge that cannot fit together with similar shapes without leaving gaps. However, with the help of other shapes, half circles can be used to create tessellations. For example, a semicircle can be combined with a rectangle to create a pattern that tessellates a plane.
