Vertex angle the sum of the interior angles is π("n" − 2) radians or 180("n" − 2) degrees. Because more than two lines in a polytope can intersect in the same space, the number of vertex angles from any given vertex is not always one. Because of this, it is sometimes necessary to specify not only the vertex, but also the specific line segments that make up the angle. Vertex angle In geometry, a vertex angle is an angle associated with a vertex of an n-dimensional polytope. Often a vertex angle of a polygon is referred to simply as an angle of
Degree (angle) this system. In most mathematical work beyond practical geometry, angles are typically measured in radians rather than degrees. This is for a variety of reasons; for example, the trigonometric functions have simpler and more "natural" properties when their arguments are expressed in radians. These considerations outweigh the convenient divisibility of the number 360. One complete turn (360°) is equal to 2"" radians, so 180° is equal to radians, or equivalently, the degree is a mathematical constant: 1° = . The turn (or revolution, full circle, full rotation, cycle) is used in technology and science. One turn is equal to 360°.
