Centered pentagonal number

A centered pentagonal number is a centered figurate number that represents a pentagon with a dot in the center and all other dots surrounding the center in successive pentagonal layers. The centered pentagonal number for n is given by the formula The first few centered pentagonal numbers are 1, 6, 16, 31, 51, 76,106, 141, 181, 226, 276,331, 391, 456, 526, 601,681, 766, 856, 951, 1051, 1156, 1266, 1381, 1501, 1626, 1756, 1891, 2031, 2176, 2326, 2481, 2641, 2806, 2976 (sequence in the OEIS).

Golden Ratio ϕ hidden in Pentagon!

The ratio of a common diagonal and side of regular pentagon is equal to golden ratio. Golden ratio is an irrational constant in mathematics, ϕ = 1.618033... Mathematicians since Euclid have studied the properties of the golden ratio, including its appearance in the dimensions of a regula

Frank Morgan - Optimal Pentagonal Tilings - CoM May 2021

In 2001 Thomas Hales proved that hexagons provide the least-perimeter way to tile the plane with unit areas. Of course, among hexagons, the regular one is best. Similarly, the best quadrilateral is square and the best triangle is equilateral. But what is the best pentagonal tile? Unfortuna
