OT How do I make a 5 point star?

I'd like to put a star on the side of the house in strings of Christmas lights. I have 5 strands 18' each. I wrongly put tie-wraps(zip ties) at 1/3 intervals(6') I basically need 2 lengths. the long side of the outside triangles and the side lengths of the pentagram in the middle. TIA mk

It's simple enough trig, but you can figure it out using 3 18 inch pieces of string and 10 T-pins and your pinboard.

360/5=72 degrees between each leg or point

18' * 3 / 5 = 10.8'. You should be able to arrange 5 nails in star formation that are 10.8 feet apart and have just enough lights to complete the star.

But the pinboard approach fufilled th OB requirement ;)

"Six_O'Clock_High" > lights.
