More crapper be scholarly most this fascinating sort in the aggregation Temple at the Center of Time by king Flynn.
As I pondered this newborn revelation, I took attending of the Asiatic Star of king ornamentation in my window. I began to conceive most its angles and measurements. It wasn't until a some weeks after that I definite to add every its angles together. I wasn't rattling intellection most what I was doing; I was meet expiration instance in the backseat of my family's car. When I ended the addition, I was stunned. I double-checked, triple-checked. There was no mistaking it.
This is what I found.
The grapheme has sextet diminutive triangles at its points. Every polygon contains a amount of 180 degrees within itself. So here we hit sextet triangles of 180 degrees, equaling 1080 degrees (6x180).
Next we staleness add the angels of the hexagon within its center. Notice that the hexagon completes a straightforward distinction with apiece of the sextet triangles. Every straightforward distinction has 180 degrees in it. So if the seek of apiece saucer on the hexagon completes a straightforward line, then digit staleness cipher the 60 degrees of the outmost triangles from 180 degrees of the straightforward line. This gives us 120 degrees for apiece saucer on the hexagon. Therefore, we multiply 120 degrees by sextet points on the hexagon, equaling 720 degrees.
