Pentagonal quasigroups are IM-quasigroups in which the additional identity of pentagonality holds. Motivated by the example C(q), where q is a solution of the equation q4−3q3+4q2−2q+1=0, some basic geometric concepts are introduced and studied in a general pentagonal quasigroup. Such concepts are parallelogram, midpoint of a segment, regular pentagon and regular decagon. Some theorems of Euclidean plane which use these concepts are stated and proved in pentagonal quasigroups.
