So
Adding the six given angles gives us
Subtracting yields
collecting area per panel 4190414-4149 in.²
There are six panels, so
You may have found that for a quadrilateral the sum of the interior angles is 360°,
for a pentagon it is 540°, and for a polygon of n sides it is
190
total collecting area= 6(4149) 24,890 in.2

Exercise 3. Quadrilaterals
1. Find the area and perimeter of
(a) a square of side 5.83 in
(b) a square of side 4.82 m.
Sum of the Interior Angles
Exploration: Try this.
(a) Draw any quadrilateral. Then select a point P inside the quadrilateral and
connect it to each vertex, Fig. 6-57. The sum of the angles in each triangle
is 180°, so the four triangles contain a total of 4 x 180°, or 720". From this
subtract the four angles around P to get the sum of the interior angles of the
quadrilateral. What do you get?
Sum of angles (-2)180°
(b) Try this again with a pentagon, a polygon of 5 sides.
(c) Try this again with a polygon of n sides. Can you generalize your result? .

** Example 15: An Application. The miter angle is the angle at which a saw or miter
box must be set to cut a piece of stock to form a joint. It is equal to half the angle
between the pieces to be joined. Find the miter angle for the pentagonal window in
Fig. 6-59.

Solution: The sum of the angles of the pentagon are, with
sum of angles
(n-2)180°
(52)180-540°
Each interior angle is then 540/5= 108. The miter angle is half of that, or
