One possible way to divide a pentagon into five parts is (assuming this is a convex pentagon) to start by placing a dot directly in the center. Then, draw a 5 lines from that center dot connecting to the 5 points around the edge of the pentagon. You should now have 5 triangles instead of 1 pentagon.
If you want it divided into five equal parts, draw a dot in the center of the pentagon, and draw a line form each vertex to the dot. You should now have five equal triangles.
Sure, you can divide a pentagon into 4 parts by drawing two diagonals from one vertex to the opposite vertex, creating four triangles inside the pentagon. So technically, yes, you can divide a pentagon into 4 parts. But good luck trying to fit them back together perfectly!
Sure, honey. Technically speaking, you can't divide a pentagon into 3 equal parts with straight lines. A pentagon has 5 sides, so you can divide it into 1, 2, or 5 equal parts, but not 3. Math can be a real buzzkill sometimes, can't it?
Draw a line from all five corners to one of the four other corners.

Draw the pentagon on the outside of the circle with all five sides touching the circle. Now by dividing the pentagon into 5 equal segments to the center, the circle is divided as well into 5 equal segments. Mathmatically speaking, see the related link for more information

By changing it into a regular 10 sided decagon
Divide one edge into five equal parts and construct lines perpendicular to that edge at those points.
A five sided polygon is called a pentagon because pentagon means five sided polygon I think.
A pentagon has five sides and five vertices.
the meaning of pentagon is five sided,so a pentagon is a five sided shape
A Pentagon has five sides.
