The largest polygons in this tessellation are the elongated octagons. There are also equilateral triangles, isosceles triangles, kites of two sizes, and tiny regular hexagons.

A 56-Pointed Star, To Mark the Occasion of Turning 56 Years Old

I’ve been making and blogging these birthday stars for well over a decade, and see no reason to stop any time soon. This one is made of four {7/3} heptagrams, shown in blue, with four {7/2} heptagrams shown in yellow. The area of intersection of these two types of star polygon is shown in green. This works to yield a 56-pointed star because (7)(4) + (7)(4) = 28 + 28 = 56.

(2)(7) = 14
