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
Hexacontagon can be dissected into "m"("m"-1)/2 parallelograms. In particular this is true for regular polygons with evenly many sides, in which case the parallelograms are all rhombi. For the "regular hexacontagon", "m"=30, and it can be divided into 435: 15 squares and 14 sets of 30 rhombs. This decomposition is based on a Petrie polygon projection of a 30-cube. A hexacontagram is a 60-sided star polygon. There are 7 regular forms given by Schläfli symbols {60/7}, {60/11}, {60/13}, {60/17}, {60/19}, {60/23}, and {60/29}, as well as 22 compound star figures with the same vertex configuration.
