Draw 5 Pointed Star

Five pointed stars look better if the points are evenly spaced and the same size. If you want to draw the star using a protractor and ruler, rather than use the online development program, use the following procedure. Take care to very lightly draw all lines except the final star lines. You can draw your own ovals for the magic numbers or use little art label stickers.

Procedure

1. Draw a line, place a compass point where you want one of the star points. Draw an arc where you want another star point.	2. Place the center of the protractor on the line and arc then mark 72 degrees.
3. Draw a line through where the line and arc cross and the 72 degree mark. Place the compass point where the line and arc cross and draw another small arc. The intersection is another star point.	4. Repeat step 2 for the newly found star point.
5. Repeat step 3 for the newly found star point.	6. Repeat step 2 and 3 for the newly found star point. Draw lines connecting all your star points.
