In simple mathematics, a polygon can be defined as any 2-dimensional shape that is formed with straight lines. In the case of quadrilaterals or triangles and pentagons, they are all perfect examples of polygons. The interesting aspect is that the name of any kind of polygon highlights the number of sides the polygon possesses. A pentagon has 5 straight sides and the shape must also be closed (all the lines should connect to each other): Types of Pentagon
The General Rule Each time we add a side (triangle to quadrilateral, quadrilateral to pentagon, etc), we add another 180° to the total sum. What is a Regular Polygon? If all the sides of a polygon are equal and all the angles of a polygon are equal then the polygon is known as a regular polygon. Different Shapes, Number of Sides, Sum of Interior Angles and the Measure of each Angle-
Properties of a Regular Pentagon A regular pentagon has the following properties:
Any pentagon has the following properties:
Sum of Angles in a Pentagon (Image will be Uploaded Soon) To find the sum of the angles in a pentagon, divide the pentagon into different triangles. There are three angles in a triangle. Since the sum of the angles of the triangles is equal to 180 degrees. 3 x 180 = 540 degrees Therefore, the sum of angles in a pentagon is 540 degrees. Now to find the measure of the interior angles of the pentagon, we know that the sum of all the angles in a pentagon is equal to 540 degrees (from the above figure)and there are five angles. (540/5 = 108 degrees) So, the measure of the interior angle of a regular pentagon is equal to 108 degrees. How to Measure the Central Angles of a Regular Pentagon? (Image will be Uploaded Soon) To find the measure of the central angle of a regular pentagon,we need to make a circle in the middle of the pentagon.We know that a circle is 360 degrees around. Now ,divide that by five angles. Now the measure of each central angle is equal to 360/5 = 72 degrees. So, the measure of the central angle of a regular pentagon is equal to 72 degrees.

Convex Pentagon and Concave Pentagon (Image will be Uploaded Soon) If all the vertices of a pentagon are pointing outwards, then the pentagon can be known as a convex pentagon. If a pentagon has at least one vertex pointing inside, then the pentagon can be known as a concave pentagon. Questions to be Solved- Question 1) Is the Diagram Given Below a Pentagon? (Image will be Uploaded Soon) Answer: The figure given below cannot be known as a pentagon because from the properties of a pentagon we know that it should be a closed figure. But the figure given above is open therefore, it is not a pentagon. The Pentagon and its SubtypesA pentagon is a two-dimensional shape with 5 sides and 5 angles in geometry. An angle is produced in a pentagon when two of its sides share a common point. Because there are five vertices in a pentagon, there are five angles in a pentagon. In this article, we will go through the angles in a pentagon in-depth, including internal angles, exterior angles, the sum of angles in a pentagon, and so on, with numerous examples. A pentagon is a two-dimensional closed polygon having five sides and five angles. A pentagon may be categorized into several varieties according to its qualities. They are as follows: Regular Pentagon: A pentagon with equal sides and interior angles. Irregular Pentagon: A pentagon's sides are not all equal, and the inner angles are not all the same size. Convex Pentagon: All of the interior angles are less than 180 degrees, and all of the vertices point outwards. A convex pentagon is a regular pentagon. Concave Pentagon: A concave polygon is formed when one of the inner angles of a pentagon is larger than 180° and one of the vertices points inward. The diagrams below show the definitions of a regular pentagon, an irregular pentagon, and a concave pentagon. The sum of a Pentagon's outside anglesWe know that the formula for calculating the sum of a polygon's inner angles is (n – 2) 180°. As a result, each interior angle = {(n – 2) 180°}/n. Each exterior angle is known to be supplementary to the inner angle. Thus, each outside angle = {180°n -180°n + 360°}/n = 360°/n may be calculated using the preceding method. As a result, the sum of a polygon's exterior angles = n(360°/n). Because a pentagon has five sides, n=5. Interior View of a Standard Pentagon The internal angles of a pentagon are the angles created by two consecutive pairs of sides. The number of sides equals the number of vertices plus the number of internal angles, which equals five. Neighboring angles or adjacent interior angles are two internal angles that share a common side. All five sides of a regular pentagon are equal, as are all five angles. As a result, the formula below gives the measurement of each internal angle of a regular pentagon. Each internal angle is measured as (n – 2) 180°/n = 540°/5 = 108°. n = the number of sides in this case. A Regular Pentagon's Exterior Angle When the sides of a pentagon are stretched, the angles produced outside the pentagon with its sides are called exterior angles. A pentagon's outside angles are all equal to 72°. Because the total of a regular pentagon's outside angles equals 360°, the formula for calculating each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is as follows: Each exterior angle of a pentagon is measured as 360°/n = 360°/5 = 72°.
