...the thre angles of each of these triangles, is equal to tw» right angles (Prop. XXVII.) ; therefore the sum of the angles of all the triangles, is equal to twice as many right angles as the polygon has sides. But the same angles are equal to the angles of the polygon, together with the angles... | |

...and in an irregular polygon they may be all unequal. The interior angles of a polygon are together equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides, less four. On this is based the theory of the traverse, of which further explanation will be given... | |

...triangles is equal to two right angles, (Th. 11) ; and the sum of the angles of all the triangles must be equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides. But the sum of these angles contains the sum of four right angles about the point p ; taking these away, and the remainder... | |

...Euc. I., 32, Cor. 1, "All the angles of any rectilineal figure, together with four right angles, are equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides." From this corollary, we can deduce a formula for finding the angle of any polygon. Let x equal the... | |
