Corollary: Triangulation of an N-gon and Sum of Interior Angles
(related to Proposition: 1.32: Sum Of Angles in a Triangle and Exterior Angle)
If a convex n-sided figure is triangulated, the sum of its angles equals \(2(n-2)\) right angles.
\[\sum \alpha_i=(n-2)\times 180^\circ=2(n-2)\times 90^\circ\]
