Can someone illustrate my cp for me? (example inside)

I am learning illustrator, and I have a buddy that can help me with it in a few days, but I was wondering if someone could make this in Illustrator for me real quick (it shouldnt take that long) so that I can poke around and play?

Frostillicus:
I'm assuming the problem is creating lines the correct length? Because that design is just a simple polygon.

Here's an easy solution (and will help you learn illustrator quicker):
Open up a new document that is roughly the same size as the finished piece - and then go to VIEW...Show Grid.  You can mess with the grid spacing/segmenting under EDIT...Preferences....Guides and Grids.  It's pretty self explanatory.

Then click on the line tool and just click once on the artboard - you can then type in the direct measurement and even angle.  I'd suggest making all the horizontal and vertical lines first - place them exactly where they should go - and then make the angled lines.  When in doubt - use guides by dragging the mouse from the ruler to the artboard.
Hope this helps - and heres a ShamelessPlug for an illustrator tutorial I made :)

Ok here is what I did.. I took this graphic, and then using the pen tool I held down shift and clicked on each corner.  I then copied that and pasted it into a new file, Now how do I re-size each segment? (because the above pic is just a rough MS-Paint image, not to scale or anything)
