A: Yes, but the Star of David is always drawn with two equilateral triangles (meaning a triangle of 3 sides of equal length). This is different from what math and science call a hexagram which is simply a 6 pointed Star Polygon composed of two opposing triangles. For a true Star of David one must draw 2 equilateral triangles of the exact same size. Here are a few definitions to help in your understanding-
Star of David (Noun) - a six-pointed star formed from two equilateral triangles; an emblem symbolizing Judaism. - Magen David, Mogen David, Shield of David, Solomon's seal

What is the Jewish triangle?
Most will claim it is the Star of David: a six-pointed star formed from two equilateral triangles. But that is incorrect. The real Jewish Triangle is the Berjewda Triangle; BerJudah Triangle; or Berjuda Triangle. The three largest populated Jewish metropolitans in the World make up the three points, an alliance formed as a triangle. Each spelling has a different symbolism - berJEWda represents the religious aspect. berJUDAH represents the political faction (see Map of Judah for symbollic reference). berjuda represents the assimilation and extermination (holocaust), and its name hints to it through the play of words (bermuda triangle). I hope this answers your question.
