I recently came across Euclidean tilings by convex regular polygons, which is super interesting. The problem is to fill the entire (infinite) 2D plane with non-overlapping regular polygons. The simplest case is to use a single regular polygon of fixed size - called Regular Tilings.

I would like to share my thoughts and insights by showing some elementary and common examples everyone would have seen sometime or the other - completely unaware that they are varieties in disguise!
