Philip Carret, who wrote The Art of Speculation (1930), believed âmotiveâ was the test for determining the difference between investment and speculation. âThe man who bought United States Steel at 60 in 1915 in anticipation of selling at a profit is a speculator.
The formula for finding the total measure of all interior angles in a polygon is (âânââ â 2) x 180, where âânââ is the number of sides, as well as the number of angles, the polygon has. Some common polygon total angle measures are as follows: The angles in a triangle (a 3-sided polygon) total 180 degrees.
0 1. A rule of polygons is that the sum of the exterior angles always equals 360 degrees, but lets prove this for a regular octagon (8-sides). First we must figure out what each of the interior angles equal. To do this we use the formula: ((n-2)*180)/n where n is the number of sides of the polygon. In our case n=8 for an octagon, so we get: Each exterior angle is the supplementary angle to the interior angle at the vertex of the polygon, so in this case each exterior angle is equal to 45 degrees. (180 - 135 = 45).
