The pentagonal pyramid will have 6 faces: 5 triangular and 1 pentagonal.  We know what one face is - the pentagonal base.  Since a pentagon has five edges, and the other triangular faces extend from these edges to the point of the pyramid, there must be 5 other sides.  I have also attached images of this pyramid both regular and flattened out so you can picture what it looks like.
