MAKING A PENTAGON

YOU  NEED:

  • A sheet of typewriter paper
  • Scissors

Cut a one inch (2.5 cm) strip from the side of a typewriter paper. Study Figure 2 and tie an overhand knot in the centre of the strip. Pull the knotted strip taut and then flatten it.

 

As in Figure 2, fold end A over the knot.

If you hold the knot up to a light what you will notice is a perfect five-pointed star in a regular pentagon. There are many amazing mathematical properties in it.
