A six pointed regular star consists of two interlocking equilateral triangles. What is the ratio of the area of the entire star to the area of one of the equilateral triangles?
@fulloflove35,
please can someone help my daughter out, she came up with 2:1 ratio but not sure if that is right or if that is all you do to the problem. Thanks
