There are six panels, so
Section 3 + Quadrilaterals
You may have found that for a quadrilateral the sum of the interior angles is 360°.
for a pentagon it is 540°, and for a polygon of n sides it is
190
total collecting area = 6(4149)
24,890 in.2
Converting now to square feet, there are 144 square inches in a square foot so
24,890 in.² - 24,890 in.² x
+++ Example 14: Find angle in Fig. 6-58.
Solution: The polygon shown has seven sides, so n = 7. By Eq. 72.
sum of angles (7-2)(180°) = 900°
Exercise 3. Quadrilaterals
1. Find the area and perimeter of
(a) a square of side 5.83 in.
(b) a square of side 4.82 m.
Sum of the Interior Angles
■ Exploration: Try this.
(a) Draw any quadrilateral. Then select a point P inside the quadrilateral and
connect it to each vertex, Fig. 6-57. The sum of the angles in each triangle
is 180°, so the four triangles contain a total of 4 x 180°, or 720°. From this
subtract the four angles around P to get the sum of the interior angles of the
quadrilateral. What do you get?
Sum of angles=(n-2)180°
(b) Try this again with a pentagon, a polygon of 5 sides.
(c) Try this again with a polygon of n sides. Can you generalize your result? ■
278° +62° + 123° +99° +226° +43° = 831°
Solution: The sum of the angles of the pentagon are, with n = 5,
sum of angles (n - 2)180°
8900831° = 69°
++ Example 15: An Application. The miter angle is the angle at which a saw or miter
box must be set to cut a piece of stock to form a joint. It is equal to half the angle
between the pieces to be joined. Find the miter angle for the pentagonal window in
Fig. 6-59.
(52)180= 540°
Each interior angle is then 540/5= 108. The miter angle is half of that, or
0-54°
