Six-Pointed Star
Six-Pointed Star: a composite plane figure made of a regular hexagon with side 2.4 cm, joined with a triangle with base 2.4 cm and height 2.08 cm, joined with a triangle with base 2.4 cm and height 2.08 cm, joined with a triangle with base 2.4 cm and height 2.08 cm, joined with a triangle with base 2.4 cm and height 2.08 cm, joined with a triangle with base 2.4 cm and height 2.08 cm, joined with a triangle with base 2.4 cm and height 2.08 cm. It is a classic middle school geometry problem (“Composite Polygons”). The net area is 29.93 cm² and the total perimeter is 28.8 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.
How to find the area
Area formula: A = 3√3·l² (12 triangoli equilateri)
Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 14.96 + 2.49 + 2.49 + 2.49 + 2.49 + 2.49 + 2.49 = 29.93 cm².
