pentagonshaped

Pentagonshaped is an adjective used to describe an object, space, or symbol that has the form of a pentagon, a five-sided polygon. In descriptive writing it conveys a simple geometric property without implying function or orientation.

The term derives from pentagon (from Greek pente, "five," and gonia, "angle") combined with the suffix "-shaped." In formal geometric language, "pentagonal" is standard; "pentagon-shaped" or "pentagonshaped" are more common in everyday or branding contexts.

Pentagonshaped is used to describe physical objects, layouts, or icons; examples include pentagon-shaped cookies, tiles, rooms, or badges. When precision is needed in math, "pentagonal" or "five-sided" is preferred.

The unhyphenated form pentagonshaped is less common in formal usage; many editors prefer the hyphenated pentagon-shaped or simply "pentagonal." In practice, both pentagon-shaped and pentagonal are widely understood, with the latter often favored in technical writing.
