How many congruent isosceles triangles are inside the regular octagon?
8
What is area of pentagon?
That depends on the size of the pentagon, and whether it is regular or not. In general, you can divide the pentagon into three triangles, and calculate the area of each triangle separately.
What is the size of each interior angle of a regular pentagon?
The answer is 108'. There is a nice way of answering this for any regular polygon (like a square, a pentagon, a hexagon etc): first split your regular polygon into triangles by joining one vertex (point where 2 lines meet) to all other vertices. You will be left with several triangles, (eg in a pentagon 3 triangles). The interior angles of a triangle add to 180', so we can see that the interior angles of our pentagon add to 3 x 180 = 540'. And there are 5 vertices so 540/5=108', which is out answer.
What is the shape that has four congruent equilateral triangles?

The area of a regular pentagon can be found by breaking the pentagon into five congruent triangles and then taking the sum of their areas?
True
How many congruent sides in a pentagon?
A regular pentagon has 5 congruent sides
How many congruent sides does a pentagon have?
If it is a regular pentagon then it will have 5 congruent sides.
Can The area of a regular hexagon be found by breaking the hexagon into six congruent triangles and then taking the sum of their areas?
yes.
The area of a regular hexagon can be found by breaking the hexagon into six congruent triangles and then taking the sum of their areas?
true
Can a regular hexagon be found by breaking the hexagon into six congruent triangles and then taking the sum of their areas?
If you mean the area of the regular hexagon, then the answer is yes.
Do all regular pentagons have congruent diagonals?
No. A small pentagon will have smaller diagonals than a large pentagon! However, all the diagonals of a regular pentagon will be congruent.
Does a pentagon have congruent sides?
Not necessarily; if it is a regular pentagon, then yes.
Is an equilateral pentagon regular?
No, but a regular pentagon is equilateral. Equilateral means that all sides are congruent (equal in measure); to be regular, all angles also have to be congruent.
