Question

Will an octagon and an isosceles triangle tessellate a plane?
Yes, under certain conditions.

Each corner of an octagon will leave a 45° isosceles triangle at each corner when attempting to tessellate a plane.

The four isosceles triangles will form a square which can be filled by either 2 or 4 isosceles triangles of 45°.
