With a pair of scissors by cutting off two off its corners leaving you with 2 triangles and 1 pentagon.
1 triangle is formed.
1 vertex less than a hexagon is a pentagon. 2 angles more than a triangle is a pentagon.
a pentagonal pyramid
If the pentagon is a regular pentagon, then each of the central angles (formed by joinning the center with the vertices) is72⁰ (1/5 of 360⁰). So that 5 congruent isosceles triangle are formed, with base angles of 54⁰. If we draw the height, of these triangles (from the center to the sides of the pentagon), 10 congruent right triangles are formed. Let denote with: b the sides of the pentagon, and h the height. In one of the right triangles we have: tan 54⁰ = h/(b/2) tan 54⁰ = 2h/b 1.38 = 2h/b 2h = 1.38b h = (1.38/2)b h = .69b So that, h/b = .69b/b = .69

Consider the pentagon ABCDE. By drawing diagonals from B, we get: 1. Triangle ABE 2. Triangle BDE 3. Triangle BCD -Ashwin Hendre
You didn't say it was a regular pentagon. For an arbitrary pentagon, you would calculate its area as you would for any polygon: divide it up into triangles, and add up the areas of the triangle. The area of a triangle is 1/2 times the base times the height, the height being the length of the perpendicular dropped to the base from the opposite vertex.
A regular pentagon has five (5) equilateral triangles within it. Find the area of each triangle (1/2bh where b is the base of the triangle or the length of a side of the pentagon, and h is the height of the triangle or the apothem of the pentagon) and multiply the area of the triangle times five (5).
With a good ol' fashion pen. Impossible
You'd have to have fractional parts of triangles. Each group would have 1 and 1/3 triangle.
One possible way to divide a pentagon into five parts is (assuming this is a convex pentagon) to start by placing a dot directly in the center. Then, draw a 5 lines from that center dot connecting to the 5 points around the edge of the pentagon. You should now have 5 triangles instead of 1 pentagon.
there are 27 triangles in a triangle
Three triangles
The formula is A=1/2bh b=base of triangle h=height of triangle A=area 1/2=divide base times height by 2
a hexagon * * * * * Depending on the shape and sizes of the triangles and where they are attached, you can also get a kite, a rectangle, a parallelogram, a decagon, octagon, pentagon.
