...angles of a polygon, is equal to twice as many right angles, wanting four, as the figure has sides. Let ABCDE be any polygon ; then the sum of all its...B, C, D, E is equal to twice as many right angles, wanting four, as the figure has sides (see next page). For, from any point, F, within it, draw lines... | |

...equal to twice as many right angles as the polygon has sides. Again, the sum of all the interior angles is equal to twice as many right angles as the figure has sides, less four right angles (p. 26). Hence, the interior angles plus four right angles, is equal to twice as many right angles... | |

...proposition of Geometry, that in any figure bounded by straight lines, the sum of all the interior angles is equal to twice as many right angles, as the figure has sides less two ; since the figure can be divided into that number of triangles. Hence this common rule. " Calculate... | |
