Since we don't have the diagram, we cannot determine the exact relationship and dimensions of the figure formed by the pentagons. However, we can still represent a possible relationship between the number of pentagons and the perimeter using a table, words, an equation, and a graph.

Table:
Let's assume that each pentagon has a regular shape and equal side lengths. Based on this assumption, we can create a table to represent the relationship between the number of pentagons and the perimeter.

| Number of Pentagons (x) | Perimeter (y) |
|------------------------|---------------|
| 1 | 5s |
| 2 | 10s |
| 3 | 15s |
| 4 | 20s |
| ... | ... |
| x | 5x |

In the table, 's' represents the length of each side of the pentagon. As the number of pentagons increases, the perimeter (total length of all sides) will also increase. The perimeter is directly proportional to the number of pentagons.

Words:
The perimeter of the figure formed by the pentagons will increase as the number of pentagons increases. The perimeter is directly proportional to the number of pentagons.

Equation:
The equation that represents the relationship is:
y = 5x

Here, 'y' represents the perimeter of the figure formed by the pentagons, and 'x' represents the number of pentagons. The equation shows that the perimeter is directly proportional to the number of pentagons, with a constant of 5 (assuming equal side lengths of the pentagons).

Graph:
The graph of the equation y = 5x would be a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) with a slope of 5. The x-axis represents the number of pentagons (x), and the y-axis represents the perimeter (y). As x increases, y also increases linearly.
