Trigonometry angles of any triangle add up to 180 degrees. The two acute angles therefore add up to 90 degrees: they are complementary angles. The shape of a triangle is completely determined, except for similarity, by the angles. Once the angles are known, the ratios of the sides are determined, regardless of the overall size of the triangle. If the length of one of the sides is known, the other two are determined. These ratios are given by the following trigonometric functions of the known angle "A", where "a", " b" and "c" refer to the lengths of the sides in
Internal and external angles simple polygon and a line extended from an adjacent side. The interior angle concept can be extended in a consistent way to crossed polygons such as star polygons by using the concept of directed angles. In general, the interior angle sum in degrees of any closed polygon, including crossed (self-intersecting) ones, is then given by 180("n"–2"k")° where "n" is the number of vertices and the non-negative number "k" is the number of total revolutions of 360° one undergoes walking around the perimeter of the polygon. In other words, 360"k"° represents the sum of all the exterior angles. For example, for
