How do you know if a pentagon is congruent?
So, the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent).
What is a pentagon shape look like?
As defined above, a regular pentagon contains five congruent sides. Thus, we can easily find the perimeter of this type of pentagon. This can be observed from the below given figure. Here, all the five sides are equal so the perimeter of a regular pentagon is five times the length of any one of its sides.
What does a 5 sided shape look like?

How do you know if a polygon is congruent?
Two polygons are congruent if their corresponding sides and angles are congruent. Note: Two sides are congruent if they have the same length and angles are congruent if they have the same measure. We indicate that angles are congruent by putting the same number of slash marks through each angle.
What is a Nonagon shape?
A nine sided shape is a polygon called a nonagon. It has nine straight sides that meet at nine corners. The word nonagon comes from the Latin word “nona”, meaning nine, and “gon”, meaning sides. So it literally means “nine sided shape”.
How many pentagons are there in the figure?
Hence, there are 28 pentagons in the given figure.
What are congruent shapes?
Two shapes that are the same size and the same shape are congruent. They are identical in size and shape.
Is a square a polygon?
Because it is a regular polygon, a square is the quadrilateral of least perimeter enclosing a given area. Dually, a square is the quadrilateral containing the largest area within a given perimeter.
What is the sum of the angles of a polygon?
Polygon Angle Sum Theorem. The sum of the angles in any polygon is equal to the number of sides in the polygon minus two, all multiplied by 180 degrees.
What shape is a polygon?
A polygon is any shape made up of straight lines that can be drawn on a flat surface, like a piece of paper. Such shapes include squares, rectangles, triangles and pentagons but not circles or any other shape that includes a curve. Understanding shapes is important in mathematics.
Are congruent polygons similar?
Two polygons are similar if their corresponding angles are congruent and the corresponding sides have a constant ratio (in other words, if they are proportional).
