The geometric shape formed by connecting the perimeter of five points is a pentagon. Its basic construction is that of three triangles with one triangle in the middle sharing two of its sides with a base line of the other two triangles.
The maximum number of triangles that can be created, if you count only those triangles that are formed by line segments between each of the five points, are ten (10).
