A pentagon is a 2D shape. Volume and Surface Area is only found in 3D shapes.
Zero is. Plane figures have area but no volume.
A pentagon is a 2-dimensional shape and therefore has no volume whatsoever. As a result, the formula is very simple: Volume = 0 units

V = (1/3) (area of the base) (height) Area of a pentagon = 1/2 x apothem length x 5 x length of a side of the pentagonthe apothem is the perpendicular distance from the center of the pentagon to the side of the pentagon
