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
Degrees of freedom (statistics) independent pieces of information that go into the estimate of a parameter are called the degrees of freedom. In general, the degrees of freedom of an estimate of a parameter are equal to the number of independent scores that go into the estimate minus the number of parameters used as intermediate steps in the estimation of the parameter itself (most of the time the sample variance has "N" − 1 degrees of freedom, since it is computed from "N" random scores minus the only 1 parameter estimated as intermediate step, which is the sample mean). Mathematically, degrees of freedom is
