The sides of a 5-pointed star inscribed in a circle 2021-09-18

Range and Domain of a Star 2009-05-14
From Larry:
I am an old teacher trying to help my grandson. He has to draw a structure to scale and then determine the function, domain and range. One line on the structure is from (0,8) to (-8,-4). I used the intercept method and found the function to by y=1.5x +8 (I think) but can't find the range and domain) Thanks

From rebecca:
Hello, For a maths extension program i've been given the challenge of finding the area of a 5-point star with each of the 10 outside edges being a length of 1.23cm How might I go about finding the area for such a shape given only this piece of information? Sincerely, Rebecca

A six pointed star 2008-06-19
From Bree:
Triangles ABC and DEF are equilateral triangles with the same side length of 12cm. The polygon at the centre of the star is a regular hexagon. What is the area of the hexagon? Justify your response.

The triangles are in a shape of a six pointed star with the hexagon in the middle.

Star of Bethlehem 2006-12-05
From Stephen:
I need to construct a star for a Christmas play being done at our church. I want it to be a four-pointed star. The top and side points should be 12 inches long and the bottom point 24 inches. It will be flat on the back but raised on the front with lights inside for illumination. Each point will be made of two triangles with a ridge in the center. I would like the width of the rays at the center (widest point or center of star) to be about five inches and the center ridge at this same point to be raised about two inches from the flat back. I need to know the dimensions and angles of each of the 8 triangles that make up the star so that all of them meet properly at the center of the star so as to have the correct height from the flat back.

A 3-dimensional star 2006-03-15
From Rachel:
I am trying to figure out the name of a figure that consists of 8 (I think) square pyramids. There is a net drawing of this figure somewhere and I can't find it because I don't know the name. When all 8 pyramids are connected, they form a '3-dimensional star'. We did this project when I was 14 years old and I am now a 27 year old teacher and I would love to do this project with my kids.

A 3 dimensional 5 pointed star 2001-11-08
From Kent:
I am looking for a formula that will give me a layout for a 3 dimensional 5 pointed star. I want to form it out of sheet metal, using 5 polygons and soldering them at the apex. Can you please help me with this? I would like to be able to give the formula the height of the star from the bottom two points to the top point and also how deep the star is. Thank you very much!
