A pentagon is a polygon with five sides.
It is also the name of a large, five-sided building near Washington, D.C. in Northern Virginia that serves as the headquarters for the US Department of Defense.
On September 11, 2001, terrorist organization al-Qaeda crashed a passenger aircraft into the Pentagon, in an apparent attempt to destroy the building, as part of their 9/11 attacks.
