To maximize thrust on a NASA space shuttle, engineers drill an 11-point star out of the solid fuel that fills each booster. They begin by drilling a hole with radius 2 feet, and they would like each side of the star to be 1.5 feet. Is this possible if the fuel cannot have angles greater than 45 at its points?
