In summary, the polygon law, also known as the exterior angle sum theorem, states that the sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon is always equal to 360 degrees. It is used in geometry to calculate the total number of sides in a convex polygon and determine the measure of each exterior angle. The formula for the exterior angle sum in a convex polygon is (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides in the polygon. However, it cannot be applied to non-convex polygons. The polygon law is closely related to other geometry concepts such as the sum of interior angles, congruent and supplementary angles, and is used in various proofs and constructions.

Largely based on some of your previous threads, I would guess you are referring either to forces in equilibrium or to finding a resultant of forces by chaining arrows together, head to tail. Please confirm.
 

What is the polygon law?

The polygon law is a mathematical principle that states that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is equal to 180 degrees.

How can I use the polygon law?

The polygon law can be used to find missing angles in a polygon or to check if a given set of angles form a valid polygon.

What do questions based on the polygon law look like?

Questions based on the polygon law typically involve finding missing angles in a polygon, determining the number of sides in a polygon, or proving whether a set of angles forms a valid polygon.

What types of polygons can the polygon law be applied to?

The polygon law can be applied to any type of polygon, including regular and irregular polygons.

Is the polygon law a proven theorem?

Yes, the polygon law is a proven theorem in mathematics and is widely used in geometry and other fields of study.
