Star polygons in art and culture Star polygons in art and culture Star polygons and polygonal compounds are the basis for numerous figures of significance in arts and culture. The figure may be the border or interior of the polygon, or one or more closed polygonal paths that include all of the border and also have some legs crossing the interior. Impressions of astronomical stars provide the term, but specific uses may exploit the connection or not. Stars often represent the unity of states within a country when they are used as a part of the flag. The five-pointed star, if drawn with points of equal
Great dodecahemidodecahedron Great dodecahemidodecahedron In geometry, the great dodecahemidodecahedron is a nonconvex uniform polyhedron, indexed as U. Its vertex figure is a crossed quadrilateral. It is the only nonconvex uniform polyhedron whose faces are all non-convex regular polygons (star polygons), namely the star polygons {/} and {/}, besides the regular small stellated dodecahedron {/,5} and great stellated dodecahedron {/,3}. It is a hemipolyhedron with 6 decagrammic faces passing through the model center. Its convex hull is the icosidodecahedron. It also shares its edge arrangement with the great icosidodecahedron (having the pentagrammic faces in common), and with the great icosihemidodecahedron (having the decagrammic
