Pentagonum

Pentagonum regulare

Pentagonon aequilaterale, quod est pentagon quibus lateribus quinque sunt eadem longitudo.

Pentagonon (Graece πεντάγωνον < πεντα- 'quinque' + γωνία 'angulus'), etiam 5-gon appellatum, in geometria est polygonon quinque angulorum vel laterum. Summa angulorum internorum in pentagono simplice est 540°.
