Regular Pentagon

on . Posted in Plane Geometry

  • regular pentagon 1Regular pentagon (a two-dimensional figure) is a polygon with five congruent sides.
  • Circumcircle is a circle that passes through all the vertices of a two-dimensional figure.
  • Congruent is all sides having the same lengths and angles measure the same.
  • Diagonal is a line from one vertices to another that is non adjacent.
  • Inscribed circle is the largest circle possible that can fit on the inside of a two-dimensional figure.
  • Polygon (a two-dimensional figure) is a closed plane figure for which all edges are line segments and not necessarly congruent.
  • Exterior angles are 72°.
  • Interior angles are 108°.
  • 3 triangles created from any one vertex.
  • Diagonals do not cross the center point of the pentagon.
  • 5 diagonals
  • 5 edges
  • 5 vertexs
