How to create a shape and use the live paint bucket tool

 1: Draw a vertical path. 

 Step 2: With the path selected, go to Effect>Transform. Enter a roation angle of 36° and 4 copies. Click OK.

 Step 3: Go to Object>Expand Appearance, which will result in 5 paths, grouped.
Step 4: Draw a star (hold down Shift and Option to constrain it to a right-side-up, 5-pointed star). 

Step 5: Center-align the star and the line group horizontally. You may have to move the star up or down so that each line bisects the star’s points. 

Step 6: Select the star and the lines and go to Pathfinder>Divide.

 Step 7: Take the Live Paint bucket and color every other shape for the beveled look.
