If somethins is shaped like a circle, it's circular. Same with rectangular, triangular, etc. But what about pentagon and octogon, hexagon, etc?
At least with square, you can say "It's square." You can't say "It's pentagon."
So what's the word I'm looking for? I'm prety sure it isn't pentagonular.

The right expression is ' It is Pentagonal in shape'
You may also say, it is 'a five-sided ppolygon'

Tell them it has five sides, or that it is a polygon with five sides if you really want to have that nomenclature in there.
