points that are equally spaced on the circumference of a circle. For each point, connect it to the 2 points that are furtherest away from it, but not diametrically opposite to it. This forms an pointed star.
TakeWhat is the sum of the internal angles (in degrees)?

Because each internal angle of n-pointed star is equal to haft of in-center angle with the same arc. If n is odd, these in-center angles are separated and cover whole circle, so sum of them is: 3 6 0 0 Hence sum of internal angles of n-pointed star is: 1 8 0 0 If n is even, these in-center angles pairwise overlap each other in haft of each. So sum of these angles is: 3 6 0 × 2 = 7 2 0 0 So sum of internal angles of n-pointed star is: 3 6 0 0 Answer is: 1 8 0 0 : n = 2 k + 1 , 3 6 0 0 : n = 2 k
