A pentagon is a plane figure with 5 sides. There are four types of polyiamond pentagons: D, M, P, and Q. See below under Moniamond for examples.
Here I show the smallest known pentagon of each type that can be tiled with a given polyiamond with up to 8 cells. If you find a smaller solution or solve an unsolved case, please write.
Carl Schwenke and Johann Schwenke provided solutions.
A polyiamond with equal numbers of up and down cells cannot tile a pentagon. Such polyiamonds are not shown.
For heptiamonds and octiamonds, I show only polyiamonds with at least one solution.
