@mjd There's a special name for polygons that can tile the plane by themelves, isn't there? I feel sure I've seen this pentagon before!

@xentrac @mjd

There are some named tilings, but the overall class are just Pentagonal Tiling.

@jgamble @mjd I think possibly the class I was thinking of was "monohedral tilings" but after reading more of the "Tilings" page I'm no longer sure!

@xentrac I love looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_pentagonal_tiling which is one of the categories in the above wikipedia link..
