...three angles of each of these triangles is equal to two right angles (Pr. 27) ; therefore the sum of the angles of all the triangles is equal to twice...many right angles as the polygon has sides. But the same angles are equal to the angles of the polygon, together with the angles at the point F, that is,... | |
