There is no such shape.
A pentagonal pyramid (5 sides and 1 base) has 6 faces, 6 vertices, and 10 edges (5 between the sides and 5 with the base).
A shape that has more than 4 vertices is called a polygon. Polygons are closed geometric figures with straight sides. Examples of polygons with more than 4 vertices include a pentagon (5 vertices), hexagon (6 vertices), heptagon (7 vertices), octagon (8 vertices), nonagon (9 vertices), decagon (10 vertices), and so on. Each vertex represents a point where two sides of the shape meet.
A pentagon is basically a shape, or figure, that has 5 sides.
When a figure has 5 sides it is considered a pentagon. When a figure has 5 sides AND all the interior angles are 108 degrees then it is a regular pentagon.
