You will get an even five-pointed star only when using drawing tools - a ruler, a protractor and a compass, and the last two objects are interchangeable.
It is necessary
A sheet of paper, a simple pencil, eraser, ruler, protractor or compasses
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the tools you need for the job and a sheet of paper. If you do not have a compass, then use a protractor in your work. Draw a circle on paper with a simple pencil. To do this, use any round-shaped object - a cup, wide tape, plate, disc for recording, and so on. Draw a horizontal line on the resulting circle with a ruler, dividing the circle in half. Then, in the middle of the horizontal line, draw a vertical line, dividing the circle into four even parts.
Step 2
Place the protractor against the horizontal line so that the vertical line passes through the ninety-degree mark. Mark an angle of seventy-two degrees and mark a dot on the circle. Then turn the protractor counterclockwise and set it so that it lies on the vertical line and the horizontal line passes through the ninety degree mark. Again mark the seventy-two degree angle and mark a point on the circle. Next, mark the remaining points.
Step 3
Use a ruler to draw a five-pointed star by connecting the dots. Erase unnecessary lines with the eraser. An even star is ready.
Step 4
An even star can be built using a compass. To do this, draw a horizontal line using a ruler. Then draw a vertical line that intersects at a right angle the horizontal at point O. From point O, using a compass, draw a circle of arbitrary radius. Mark the points of intersection of the circle and straight lines with points V and D
Step 5
Using a ruler, divide segment DA in half and mark its midpoint with point A. Around point A, draw an arc through point V so that the arc intersects the horizontal line. Mark the intersection point with point B. The segment VB will be the side of the pentagon in which you will enter the star.
Step 6
Starting from point V, mark the points of the regular pentagon on the circle. After placing five points, connect them with a ruler in the shape of a five-pointed star. Erase unnecessary lines with the eraser.
