How many triangles are there total in the Star of David?
There is 8 triangles in the Star of David.
Why were two triangles used for the Star of David?
The Star of David, or Magen David, is composed by overlaying two equiliteral triangles, to form a hexagram, or six-pointed star. The image itself is not Jewish in origin: in the Hellenistic world, hexagrams like this were used by all religions.
Is the Star of David drawn by drawing a triangle and a upside down triangle overlapping it?
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.
