Interior angles can help us to work out which polygons will tessellate. Can we use similar ideas to predict which polygons combine to create semi-regular solids?
Draw some stars and measure the angles at their points. Can you find and prove a result about their sum?
Can you work out how these polygon pictures were drawn, and use that to figure out their angles?
