A regular pentagon has five sides and all sides are the same length and all angles are the same. A regular pentagon has interior angles of 108�. The angles of a regular pentagon add up to 108*5= 540�
A rectangle is a four-sided figure where every angle is a right angle (90�) and opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. The angles of a rectangle add up to 90*4= 360�.
