Own work. Geometry and dimensions from The Constitution of Jordan.
The constitution does not define the inner diameter of the star; nor does it state that the star is supposed to be a Regular Star Polygon. On this construction sheet the star is assigned an inner diameter that is 1⁄2 its outer diameter; this matches the geometry of the the star used in File:Flag of Jordan.svg since 2005. This construction sheet includes two irrational dimensions that have been derived (calculated) from the given dimensions:

Notes
units
For the purpose of these notes, a unit corresponds to the units used in this construction sheet. One unit is 1⁄42 the width of the flag or 1⁄84 the length of the flag.
location of the star
- Mathematically, the star as located at the incenter of the red triangle which is calculated to be approximately 12.9787137637 units from the left side of the flag.
- There is at least one construction sheet on the web that incorrectly shows the star to be located at the centroid instead of the incenter. The centroid of the red triangle is located at exactly 14 units from the left side of the flag. In 2020, a short lived version of File:Flag of Jordan.svg contained the same error.
Licensing

This Jordanian photograph or Applied Art which was created on or before December 31, 1974,[1] is currently in the public domain in Jordan because Article 32 of Copyright Law No. 22 of 1992 was amended by Law No. 29 of 1999 to provide for a 25-year term of protection for photographs starting January 1st of year of completion. Although this provision was later repealed by Law No. 78 of 2003, the repeal did not renew the copyright of photographs which had already fallen into the public domain, because Article 7 of the 1992 law explicitly disallows such retroactive protection of out-of-copyright works.
Or, by Article 7 section a, it is a photocopy of Jordanian Laws, Regulations, "Daily news published, broadcast or communicated to the public", Court orders or Official governmental documents or Official translation of any of the above or any part of it. In order to be hosted on Commons, all works must be in the public domain in the United States as well as in their source country. The copyright of all pre-1975 Jordanian photographs had expired in Jordan on the U.S. date of restoration (July 28, 1999).[2] Such photographs are thus currently in the public domain in the United States.[3] [1]Between 1999 and 2003, Article 32 of the 1992 law stated that the term of protection for photographs was to be calculated starting from the 1st of January of the year of their actual completion (and not starting from the next calendar year as is the case in many countries). The term of protection for a photograph completed on December 31, 1974 was thus calculated starting from January 1, 1974, and expired on January 1, 1999.
