For a figure to be regular, all its sides and angles must all be congruent. So if a pentagon is regular, all of its sides and angles are equal to each other.
No, but a regular pentagon is equilateral. Equilateral means that all sides are congruent (equal in measure); to be regular, all angles also have to be congruent.
Sometimes. For a regular pentagon, all the sides and interior angles are congruent. However, this isn't the case for some pentagons.
A regular pentagon has 5 congruent sides
is a regular pentagon if all its angles are congruent and is a general pentagon if they are not.
A polygon that has congruent sides and congruent angles is called a Regular polygon. If the number of sides is given, you can be more specific. Some examples: 3 congruent sides/angles = equilateral triangle 4 congruent sides/angles = square 5 congruent sides/angles = regular pentagon 6 congruent sides/angles = regular hexagon ...and so on, by adding "regular" in front of the shape's name.
