Pentagons are 5-sided polygons where all the sides are equal. Not all 5-sided polygons are pentagons. What am I missing?

- MadcapJake 5y agoWhat you're describing is called a regular pentagon.
- karmakaze 5y agoThe pointlessness in the distinction is that we're talking about graphs defined by their vertices and edges, not how they're drawn. (Planar graphs about how they 'could' be drawn not withstanding.)
- thaumasiotes 5y agoNo, it isn't; a regular pentagon has all equal side lengths (as described) and all equal interior angles (not as described).
- thaumasiotes 5y agoYou are missing the definition of a pentagon; try to avoid just making up definitions for words you don't know.
