Thanks dv.
If the angle is 30 degrees, you could make a 12 pointed start out of it. The math for star angles goes thusly: 360 degrees divided by the point angle equals the number of star points. 360 divided by 60 = 6 pointed star. 360 divided by 45 = 8 pointed star. You get the idea.
FINALLY! Someone who does the number thing and is able to explain how he KNOWS how it functions.
That 360 degree thing totally escaped me.
When I was taking trig in school, they started on that THEOREM thing, and I thought - - you aren't kidding me! That is a THEORY, and life is way to short to be learning THEORIES!
SIlly me! Quilting is greatly enhanced by someone who understands these simple concepts ... and a THEOREM is really NOT a theory ... I don't know what it is, but it has to do with math, so therefore, it has GOT to mean JUST THE FACTS, MA'AM ...
Thank you so much MY2Pals ... now, what to do with all this new knowledge <rubbing hands together in anticipation ><g>>
