Sheesh, kind of a tall order :-) The math is a little long to

series of six equilateral triangles, each one of which is a 30-60-90

nit #1 -- 'equilateral' and '30-60-90' are mutually exclusive.

It's a wonder they haven't invented the computerised saw. Just punch
in the number of sides, angle of sides etc., and the blade and miter
adjust themselves. Perhaps they have, and it's not in the Orange
Giant yet?
