The pentagon can be seen as the two-dimensional analog to the dodecahedron in 3D and the cosmochoron in 4D. It is also the lowest-dimensional member of the ursatopes, with a (trivial) digonal base.

Equations

  • The hypervolumes of a pentagon with side length l are given by:
total edge length = 5l
area = 14 · √(25+10√5) · l2
