Why is it called an isosceles triangle?
An isosceles triangle is named for its characteristic feature of having two equal sides. The term "isosceles" comes from the Greek words "iso," meaning equal, and "skelos," meaning leg. This geometric shape is defined by its two sides being of the same length, which leads to two equal angles opposite those sides. The distinct properties of isosceles triangles have made them a fundamental concept in geometry.
Why is a 5 sided shape called a pentagon?
A 5 sided shape is called a pentagon because Geometry was studied (and practically invented) by the Greeks. The word pentagon is made up of two Greek words: πέντε γωνία which are: πέντε (or pente) the Greek for 5 γωνία (or gonia) the Greek for Corner or Angle. Thus the word "Pentagon" literally means "five angles", so a pentagon is a shape with five angles. Having five angles it also has five sides. All two dimensional shapes are called polygons; this too comes from two Greek words: πολλοί (polloi) meaning Many (transliterated into English as "poly") γωνία (gonia) meaning Angle (as before). Thus a "Polygon" is literally a "many angled" shape.
