Formulae for Pentagon

Pentagon is a geometrical shape having 5 sides of equal length. All the sides of pentagon are connected at their edges. Go through the following lines to get the various formula to compute the pentagon perimeter, area, diagonal and side. Make use of these formulae while solving the related topics.

The formula to find the area of pentagon is as follows:

Pentagon area = 1/4 ((√(5 (5 + 2 √5) s2)

Where, s is the side of a pentagon.

Perimeter of a pentagon is the length of the outline of a pentagon. The formula to find the perimeter of a pentagon is as follows:

Pentagon perimeter = 5 * s

Where, s is the length of a pentagon side.

You can use any of these formulas to compute the side of a pentagon based on the given constraints.

If perimeter of pentagon is given, then Side of a pentagon = perimeter / 5.

If area of pentagon is given, then pentagon side = √[ (4 * a) / ((√(5 (5 + 2 √5))), where a is the area.

The universal formula to calculate diagonal of a pentagon is diagonal = (1 + √5) / 2) * s, where s is the side of a pentagon.

2. What is a pentagon?

Pentagon is a five sided two dimensional geometric shape. It has five sides and five corners. If a polygon has five sides and all the sides length and angles are equal, then it is called pentagon.

3. What are the types of pentagons?

In total we have four different types of pentagon. They are along the lines:

1. Regular Pentagon: A geometrical shape with five equal sides and equal angles.

2. Irregular Pentagon: A geometrical shape with different lengths of sides and unequal sizes of angles.

3. Concave Pentagon: If a pentagon has an internal angle greater than 180 degrees, then it is a concave pentagon.

4. Convex Pentagon: If a pentagon has no internal angle greater than 180 degree, then it is a convex pentagon.

4. What is the formula to compute the height of a pentagon?

Pentagon height calculation formula is given below:

h = s / 2 x (√ (5 + 2√5))

Where,

h is the height of a pentagon and s is the side of the pentagon.
