In geometry, pentagonal pyramid is a pyramid with a pentagon base and five triangular faces, having a total of six faces. It is categorized as Johnson solid if all of the edges are equal in length, forming equilateral triangular faces and a regular pentagonal base. The pentagonal pyramid can be found in many polyhedrons, including their construction. It also occurs in stereochemistry in pentagonal pyramidal molecular geometry.
