A pentagram is a five-pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. In fact, the word pentagram comes from the Greek word πεντάγραμμον (pentagrammon), a noun form of πεντάγραμμος (pentagrammos) or πεντέγραμμος (pentegrammos), a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines". The name indicates that a pentagram is not simply a five-pointed star; the symbol must be composed of five lines. That is, it must include the interior pentagon. It is also known as a pentacle, pentalpha (as it ...

A regular pentagram is the {5/2} star polygon. It is most easily drawn by drawing a regular pentagon, joining the corners with lines and erasing the original pentagon. You may also extend the sides of the pentagon until they meet, obtaining a bigger pentagram. The golden ratio, φ = (1+√5)/2 = 1.618…, satisfying plays an important role in regular pentagons and pentagrams. Each line is divided into several smaller segments, and if you divide the length of the longer segment with the shorter segment of any pair of segments ...

THE PENTAGRAM

The pentagram, or five-pointed star, may be the most misunderstood religious symbol around these days. Being the most common symbol of Neo-Pagan Witchcraft, it has nevertheless been denigrated by movie and publishing industries which seem 'hell-bent' on connecting it with Satanism and other malevolent practices. However, like the Roman Cross or Crucifix, it is only when the symbol is INVERTED that it alludes to negativity. And even then, there are exceptions, as we shall see.

The first uses of the pentagram we know of are found in Mesopotamian writings dating to about 3000 B.C. The Sumerian pentagrams served as pictograms for the word "UB," meaning "corner, angle, nook; a small room, cavity, hole; pitfall," suggesting something very similar to the pentemychos (see below on the Pythagorean use for what pentemychos means). In the Labat (dictionary of Sumerian hieroglyphs/pictograms) it is the number 306, and it is shown as being two points up. In the Babylonian context, the edges of the pentagram were probably orie ...

Its Schläfli symbol is {5}. The area of a regular pentagon with side length a is given by A pentagram can be formed from a regular pentagon either by extending its sides or by drawing its diagonals.
