A pentagon has 5 sides.

A hexagon has 6 sides.

The penta- prefix comes from the Greek for 5;

The hexa- prefix comes from the Greek for 6.

The -gon suffix comes from the Greek for "corner" or "angle".

Thus a pentagon is a five cornered (or five angled) shape;

and a hexagon is a six cornered (or six angled) shape.
