  2. Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle

    Analogously, a line segment PD through some point D on AB extended bisects the corresponding exterior angle BPQ where Q is on AP extended. Since the interior and exterior angles sum to 180 degrees, the angle CPD is exactly 90 degrees; that is, a right angle. The set of points P such that angle CPD is a right angle forms a circle, of which CD is ...

  3. Internal and external angles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_and_external_angles

    If every internal angle of a simple polygon is less than a straight angle (π radians or 180°), then the polygon is called convex. In contrast, an external angle (also called a turning angle or exterior angle) is an angle formed by one side of a simple polygon and a line extended from an adjacent side. [1]: pp. 261–264

  4. Central angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_angle

    Angle AOB is a central angle. A central angle is an angle whose apex (vertex) is the center O of a circle and whose legs (sides) are radii intersecting the circle in two distinct points A and B. Central angles are subtended by an arc between those two points, and the arc length is the central angle of a circle of radius one (measured in radians). [1]

  5. Exterior angle theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_angle_theorem

    The exterior angle theorem is not valid in spherical geometry nor in the related elliptical geometry. Consider a spherical triangle one of whose vertices is the North Pole and the other two lie on the equator. The sides of the triangle emanating from the North Pole (great circles of the sphere) both meet the equator at right angles, so this ...

  6. Inscribed angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inscribed_angle

    The measure of ∠AOB, where O is the center of the circle, is 2α. The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle θ inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle 2θ that intercepts the same arc on the circle. Therefore, the angle does not change as its vertex is moved to different positions on the circle.

  7. Icositetragon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icositetragon

    One interior angle in a regular icositetragon is 165°, meaning that one exterior angle would be 15°.. The area of a regular icositetragon is: (with t = edge length) = ⁡ = (+ + +).

  8. Polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon

    Exterior angle – The exterior angle is the supplementary angle to the interior angle. Tracing around a convex n-gon, the angle "turned" at a corner is the exterior or external angle. Tracing all the way around the polygon makes one full turn, so the sum of the exterior angles must be 360°. This argument can be generalized to concave simple ...

  9. Cyclic quadrilateral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_quadrilateral

    Then angle APB is the arithmetic mean of the angles AOB and COD. This is a direct consequence of the inscribed angle theorem and the exterior angle theorem . There are no cyclic quadrilaterals with rational area and with unequal rational sides in either arithmetic or geometric progression .
