Pentagon Pentagon In geometry, a pentagon (from the Greek πέντε "pente" and γωνία "gonia", meaning "five" and "angle") 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 "regular pentagon" has Schläfli symbol {5} and interior angles are 108°. A "regular pentagon" has five lines of reflectional symmetry, and rotational symmetry of order 5 (through 72°, 144°, 216° and 288°). The diagonals of a convex regular pentagon are in the golden ratio to its
Equilateral pentagon are sufficient to determine a convex equilateral pentagon. Each circle's center is one of four vertices of the pentagon. The remaining vertex is determined by one of the intersection points of the first and the last circle of the chain. It is possible to describe any convex equilateral pentagon with only two angles α and β with α ≥ β provided the fourth angle (δ) is the smallest of the rest of the angles. Thus the general equilateral pentagon can be regarded as a bivariate function "f(α, β)" where the rest of the angles can be obtained by using trigonometric
