A little bit more info to work on...
The five points of a pentangle (I'm assuming you mean a pentangle rather than a pentagon which is a completely different shape), are all lying on a circle.
As a circle is 360 degrees, you trace out a circle of the required radius, recording the X,Y starting point and the four X,Y points every 72 degrees (360 div 5), giving you 5 X,Y pairs in all.
If you store them in an array, you can use them in your line drawing routine. Eg:
Dim Pentangle(5,1)
This allow you to store 5 X,Y screen locations - the X position in Pentangle(5,0) and the Y position in Pentangle(5,1).
Assuming that the very first X,Y pair is at 0 degrees (12 o'clock), the point pairs clockwise will be array indexes 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Your line drawing routine would then draw 5 lines linking the X,Y points stored in the array, using the following array indexes:
5 >> 2
2 >> 4
4 >> 1
1 >> 3
3 >> 5
So, The first line above would draw a line from X,Y pair 5 to X,Y pair 2 with:
Line Pentangle(5,0),Pentangle(5,1),Pentangle(2,0),Pentangle(2,1)
The second line would be drawn with array indexes 2 and 4... and so on.
