From calculations, we can say that the given tiles will not fit together perfectly.

How to find the sum of interior angles of a Polygon?

If the tiles join perfectly at a point, sum of all angles around the joining point should be 360°.

Expression for the measure of the interior angle of a polygon,

Interior angle of a polygon = [(n - 2) * 180]/n

Interior angle of a pentagon = [(5 - 2) * 180]/5 = 108°

Interior angle of a hexagon = [(6 - 2) * 180]/6 = 120°

Interior angle of an octagon = [(8 - 2) * 180]/8 = 135°

To prove that the given tiles fit together perfectly → Sum of all the angles around the common point should be 360°

Sum of all interior angles = 108° + 120° + 135° = 363°

Therefore, given tiles will not fit together perfectly.
