How the pentagon area Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula A = ¼·√(5(5 + 2√5))·s² ≈ 1.7205·s². Worked example: s = 5 cm → A = 43.01 cm², P = 25 cm. Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in square units (m², ft², cm²); full precision is kept until the final rounding. All side lengths must share one unit or the area comes out scaled wrongly.
