Lengths in a regular decagram

In geometry, a decagram is a 10-sided star polygon. There is one regular decagram star polygon, {10/3}, containing the vertices of a regular decagon, but connected by every third point.

Star figures

There are two regular decagram star figures: {10/2} and {10/4}, connected by every second and every fourth point respectively.


{10/2} or 2{5} is a compound of 2 pentagons.

{10/4} or 2{5/2} is a compound of 2 pentagrams.

Other decagrams

An isotoxal decagram has two types of vertices at alternating radii, for example, this tripled-wrapped figure. This only has D5 symmetry.
