In 2 dimensions, a regular 5 sided figure is a pentagon. In 3 dimensions, there is no regular sided 5 sided figure. The tetrahedron is a regular 4 sided figure and a cube is a regular 6 sided figure.
pentagon A pentagon. A 5-sided figure is called a pentagon. pentagon A five sided figure is called a pentagon
An irregular pentagon can. A regular pentagon cannot.

A pentagon has five sides.
A pentagon is a plane figure and has only two dimensions. It cannot have three dimensions.
A pentagon is a two-dimensional geometric figure and therefore has area but not volume. To have volume, a geometric figure must have height or thickness as well as its plane dimensions.
A pentagon.
A pentagon is a polygon that has 5 sides. It is a planar geometric shape made of 5 line segments, and by definition, the shape lies in a plane. It has only two dimensions. In the two dimensions of the plane, the pentagon has five sides. By adding a third dimention to view it, it still has only five sides because it has no "thickness" owing to the fact that it is a geometric figure confined to a plane. In either a two domentional view or a three dimentional view, the pentagon has 5 sides. Adding another dimention to view it will not "add any more sides" to the pentagon.
It was named after a pentagon, it wasn't the 'Pentagon' that named the 'pentagon'.
In 2 dimensions, a regular 5 sided figure is a pentagon. In 3 dimensions, there is no regular sided 5 sided figure. The tetrahedron is a regular 4 sided figure and a cube is a regular 6 sided figure.

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.
Pentagon ("pent" means five).
Mostly true - you cannot tessellate only regular pentagons in two dimensions, since you cannot sum up the intersection of the angles to 360 degrees. If you tessellate a regular pentagon in three dimensions, you end up with a dodecahedron.
