The dent angle of a star polygon is the angle formed by the bent line between two points that form the point angles. I found a PDF that defines the way to calculate that dent angle and checked it out with a know star. It works: For a star polygon with n points and 2n congruent sides and a point angle of A: the dent angle B = (360/n) + A So for an 8 pointed star with a point angle of 20 degrees, the formula says: (360/8) + 20 = 65 degrees Note that if the point angle is 135 degrees it is really no longer a star polygon because the two (otherwise bent) line between each of the 8 point becomes 180 degrees.
The above formula also proves that Equally for an 8 pointed star polygon formed by joining each second point (forming two over lapped squares, the resultant dent angle becomes 135 degrees. Again the formula confirms that angle. Two home-runs feels pretty good!

The definition of dent angle in a star is (without quotes):.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
