Illustrator Sunburst

1. Using the Polygon Tool, I double clicked on the Polygon Tool and then entered the settings shown from the tutorial.doing this gives me an equilateral triangle.


2. then, selecting the Rotation Tool, clicking at the top point of my triangle, allowing the triangle to now rotate around when using the Rotation Tool.


3. I then filled the triangle w/ a light blue color.
   i made a copy of my triangle using the shortcut ctrl+d.
   I pressed ctrl+d, 6 more times to make 6 additional copies of my triangle, rotating each 45 degrees, to complete the sunburst look.
