pentagon
#6
Find yourself a half round plastic compass. Use it to draw a prefect circle. A circle is 360 degrees, so divide that by
5 which will give you a 72 degree arc for each side of a perfect pentagon. Use the degrees marked on your plastic compass to indicate where the lines ought to intersect. (72, then 144, the flip over and do again)
I am assuming you are wanting a perfectly equal pentagon. if you're looking for a pentagon to start a crazy quilt, you don't want perfect, and all you'd need to do is make a figure with 5 sides.

BTW, not at all as complicated as you'd think. The suggestion to find a 5 point star is good. You can also take the star to a copier and enlarge to the size you need.

Google it, but when you type in ''coloring book pentagon''. Sites will come up for you to choose from. I often use the words coloring book and also free in the beginning of what I am looking for in the search bar. Good luck.
