In geometry, a pentahedron (plural: pentahedra) is a polyhedron with five faces. Since there are no face-transitive polyhedra with five sides and there are two distinct topological types, this term is less frequently used than tetrahedron or octahedron.
With regular polygon faces, the two topological forms types are the square pyramid and triangular prism. Geometric variations with irregular faces can also be constructed.
