A pentagon is any five-sided polygon shape. A simple pentagon has five even 108-degree internal angles that add up to total of 540 degrees. There are a few methods of drawing a simple pentagon. One way is to use a protractor to measure the angles for each of the sides. Another complex way involves internal angle measurements. You can also use a simple and accurate method of drawing a pentagon using only a drafting compass and a ruler. Get a sheet of paper, preferably graphing paper, and prepare the compass. Make sure the compass pencil and pencil are both sharp. It is best that the paper be on a hard, flat surface for more accurate lines. Draw a perfect circle in the middle of the paper with the compass. The circle should be a minimum of 2 inches across to be easier to work with. Draw a dot at the center point of the circle and label it “O.” Leave a lot of free space around the circle to draw on in the following steps.
