In geometry, a pentagon (from Greek πέντε (pente) 'five' and γωνία (gonia) 'angle' [1]) is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon. The sum of the internal angles in a simple pentagon is 540°. A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting. A self-intersecting regular pentagon (or star pentagon) is called a pentagram.
A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. A regular pentagon has 5 equal edges and 5 equal angles. In geometry, a polygon is traditionally a plane figure that is bounded by a finite chain of straight line segments closing in a loop to form a closed chain.
Megagon - 1,000,000 sides; Star polygon – there are multiple types of stars Pentagram - star polygon with 5 sides; Hexagram – star polygon with 6 sides Star of David (example) Heptagram – star polygon with 7 sides; Octagram – star polygon with 8 sides Star of Lakshmi (example) Enneagram - star polygon with 9 sides; Decagram - star ...
In geometry, a pentahedron (pl.: pentahedra) is a polyhedron with five faces or sides. There are no face-transitive polyhedra with five sides and there are two distinct topological types. With regular polygon faces, the two topological forms are the square pyramid and triangular prism.
The five known Fermat primes are: F 0 = 3, F 1 = 5, F 2 = 17, F 3 = 257, and F 4 = 65537 (sequence A019434 in the OEIS). Since there are 31 nonempty subsets of the five known Fermat primes, there are 31 known constructible polygons with an odd number of sides. The next twenty-eight Fermat numbers, F 5 through F 32, are known to be composite. [3]
The 5 Platonic solids are called a tetrahedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron with 4, 6, 8, 12, and 20 sides respectively. The regular hexahedron is a cube . Table of polyhedra

A regular n-sided polygon can be constructed with compass and straightedge if and only if the odd prime factors of n are distinct Fermat primes. (See constructible polygon .) A regular n -sided polygon can be constructed with origami if and only if n = 2 a 3 b p 1 ⋯ p r {\displaystyle n=2^{a}3^{b}p_{1}\cdots p_{r}} for some r ∈ N ...
