Regular Pentagon
Regular 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
