the original answer was : It represents the US. military's five branches of service:
Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force and the Coast Guard.
This can't possibly be true, the Air Force was establish in 1947. The Pentagon was built in 1943. ?
Because it is a building that has five sides to it and the word pentagon means a five sided shape.
Since a rhombus has four sides, you are asking for the name of a five-sided shape, which is called a pentagon. There is a military building in the USA with the shape of a regular pentagon. It is called The Pentagon. This should help you to remember.
The military Pentagon is named after the geometric shape, the pentagon, due to its architectural structure. The Pentagon building itself is a five-sided polygon with five equal sides and five equal angles, representing a classic example of a pentagon shape in geometry. However, apart from its shape, there is no direct connection between the military Pentagon and the study of geometry.
First of all, it's called a pentagon. It's special for many reasons. A pentagon shaped building offers more support than a quadrilateral (four sided shape). Also, the US Dept. of Defense has its headquarters in the Pentagon which is the shape of a pentagon.
pentagon
They are both the same. Pentagon is just a shorter way of saying the pentagon building. As for if you meant the shape pentagon, it is called the pentagon because it's shape is a pentagon.
If viewed from the air, the shape of the building is a pentagon (it has 5 sides)
The Pentagon
A pentagon is a 5-sided shape, but The Pentagon is the Headquarters of the United State Department of Defense. The building has a pentagonal shape, hence its name.
Because it is a building that has five sides to it and the word pentagon means a five sided shape.
yes a pentagon is a rigid shape * * * * * I am afraid that it is not.
The shape that has more than 4 sides but also has a building named after it is The Pentagon.

The building plans was made for another site where it had to have that shape to maximize the use of the land. The building site was changed but the plans kept the old way since it was early war time (beginning of WW II) and the building had to be finished as soon as possible
