Pentagon (EntityTopic, 12)
From Hi.gher. Space
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.
coordinates
The coordinates of a regular pentagon centered at the origi and having side length 2 are:
(√((10+2√5)/5), 0)
(√((5-√5)/10), ±φ)
√((5+2√5)/5), ±1)
Where φ is the golden ratio (1+√5)/2.
Equations
- The hypervolumes of a pentagon with side length l are given by:
total edge length = 5l
area = 1∕4 · √(25+10√5) · l2
