The sum of degrees of all six vertices is 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 14, twice the number of edges. In graph theory , the handshaking lemma is the statement that, in every finite undirected graph , the number of vertices that touch an odd number of edges is even.
The sum of the squares of the sides equals the sum of the squares of the diagonals. (This is the parallelogram law.) It has rotational symmetry of order 2. The sum of the distances from any interior point to the sides is independent of the location of the point. [4] (This is an extension of Viviani's theorem.)
The sum of all the internal angles of a simple polygon is π(n−2) radians or 180(n–2) degrees, where n is the number of sides. The formula can be proved by using mathematical induction: starting with a triangle, for which the angle sum is 180°, then replacing one side with two sides connected at another vertex, and so on.
Hutton's definitions in 1795 [4]. The ancient Greek mathematician Euclid defined five types of quadrilateral, of which four had two sets of parallel sides (known in English as square, rectangle, rhombus and rhomboid) and the last did not have two sets of parallel sides – a τραπέζια (trapezia [5] literally 'table', itself from τετράς (tetrás) 'four' + πέζα (péza) 'foot ...
The total degree is the sum of the degrees of all vertices; by the handshaking lemma it is an even number. The degree sequence is the collection of degrees of all vertices, in sorted order from largest to smallest. In a directed graph, one may distinguish the in-degree (number of incoming edges) and out-degree (number of outgoing edges).
This maximum is attained for simple arrangements, those in which each two lines cross at a vertex that is disjoint from all the other lines. The number of vertices is smaller when some lines are parallel, or when some vertices are crossed by more than two lines. [4] An arrangement can be rotated, if necessary, to avoid axis-parallel lines.
This is a special case of the n-gon interior angle sum formula: S = (n − 2) × 180° (here, n=4). [ 2 ] All non-self-crossing quadrilaterals tile the plane , by repeated rotation around the midpoints of their edges.
The sum of the angles of a spherical triangle is not equal to 180°. A sphere is a curved surface, but locally the laws of the flat (planar) Euclidean geometry are good approximations. In a small triangle on the face of the earth, the sum of the angles is only slightly more than 180 degrees. A sphere with a spherical triangle on it.
