Pentagon
Right.
The polygon that has 5 sides is called a pentagon. A pentagon is a closed shape with five straight sides and five angles. To determine the name of a polygon based on its number of sides, you can follow these steps:
1. Start with the number of sides you have, in this case, 5.
2. Use a chart or knowledge of polygon names to find the corresponding name for that number of sides. For example:
- 3 sides = triangle
- 4 sides = quadrilateral
- 5 sides = pentagon
- 6 sides = hexagon
- 7 sides = heptagon (or septagon)
- 8 sides = octagon
So, in general, you can use this method to find the name of any polygon based on the number of its sides.
