Pentagram
five lines of symmetry :)
The "star shape" is a five-sided polygon formed by drawing lines between the vertices of the two farthest sides in a regular pentagon. The symbol of a star inscribed within a circle is a pentagram, which dates to several ancient religions. At some time prior to the rise of the Greek civilization, the depiction of stars in the sky and their twinkling "points" became associated with 5-pointed or 6-pointed asterisks and with the related star shapes (flag star, Star of David).
I am wondering the same thing!
A 5 sided polygon is a pentagon

A Jewish Star is a triangle and an upside-down triangle put together. See an image in the Links below.

Yes, the Pentagram (5 pointed star) is a symbol of paganism. It most commonly represents the elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Spirit.
"Jews during the Holocaust were required to wear the yellow star to let everybody know that they were Jewish." Nope, the six sided yellow star, though it doesn't have to be yellow, is the Star of David, and it is the symbol of the Jewish religion.
In math, the star represents either a perfect 5 or 6 sided shape. The star also represents the process of multiplication in mathematics.
A pentagram is a five pointed star. A pentagon in a five sided polygon.
