Sum of angles of a triangle to zero. For a spherical triangle, the sum of the angles is greater than 180° and can be up to 540°. Specifically, the sum of the angles is where "f" is the fraction of the sphere's area which is enclosed by the triangle. Note that spherical geometry does not satisfy several of Euclid's axioms (including the parallel postulate.) Angles between adjacent sides of a triangle are referred to as "interior" angles in Euclidean and other geometries. "Exterior" angles can be also defined, and the Euclidean triangle postulate can be formulated as the exterior angle theorem. One can also consider the
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
