Now that I have your attention (with the subject line) I have forgotten
how to do something seemingly very basic:  I nee to translate a line segment
into x,y coordinates.  What I need is a 5 sided regular polygon (pentagon in
english) and I have forgotten the equation to convert this to x,y points.
    For instance, I want to have a 5 sided object with sides that are 2
units in length. I have figured out that the degree of the angle between
each side is 72 (360 degrees divided by 5 sides) but I can't remember the
equation to translate this.  I don't want the points, I want an explanation
so I'll have one less silly question to ask.  Let me know if you can help.
