The number of diagonals in a polygon can be calculated using the formula (n * (n - 3)) / 2, where "n" represents the number of sides. This formula excludes the sides of the polygon itself, resulting in the count of diagonals.

Solution:
A pentagon has five sides, and to find the number of diagonals, we use the formula (n * (n - 3)) / 2, where "n" represents the number of sides.
For a pentagon, substituting the value of "n" into the formula:
(5 * (5 - 3)) / 2 = 5 diagonals.
So, a pentagon has 5 diagonals.
