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.
After hexagon comes a heptagon, which is a seven-sided polygon. The prefix "hepta-" denotes seven in Greek, just as "hexa-" denotes six. Each additional side added to a polygon increases the number of sides by one, following the pattern of polygon naming based on Greek numerical prefixes.
