Is the star of David a star or two triangles?
Yes, it is known as a star, but it is two triangles.It is one upside down triangle on one upward triangle.
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.
