QuestionWhat's the perimeter of the 5-foot star? How many feet of lights do I need?DonaganTop AnswererThe perimeter is roughly 20 feet. That's how much lighting you'll need if you simply run the lights along the perimeter. If you wind the lights along the perimeter, you'll need more, depending on how "tight" the winding is.

QuestionA star, made of five tubes joined at the points, is difficult to get symmetrical. Given the length of the tubes, what is the distance between the points?Community AnswerThe length of one side is x and the distance from the end to one intersection is y. As the star is regular, it has five isosceles triangles for points. The base angles of these triangles are 72. Opposite angles at the intersections means the obtuse angles equal 252. A triangle between the points has angles 108, 36, and 36. Using the cosine rule with y cm for the equal sides gives us the distance between the points, equal to 1.17557y cm. Multiply y by its equivalent value to work out the distance.
