Ah,gumbud...if I may just interpose forra mo?
Y'see;The interior angles of any polygon always add up to a constant value, which depends only on the number of sides. For example the interior angles of a pentagon always add up to 540° no matter if it's regular
or irregular,convex or concave,or what size/shape it takes. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula:sum=180 (n−2) degrees,where n is the number of sides.
So for example:a square has 4 sides,so interior angles add up to 360°
A pentagon has 5 sides,so interior angles add up to 540°
A hexagon has 6 sides,so interior angles add up to 720°,etc.
BUT [this is where it gets interesting...[honest]...For a
regular polygon,the total described above is spread evenly among all the interior angles,since they all have the same values. So for example the interior angles of a pentagon always add up to 540°. So in a regular pentagon (5 sides) each one is one fifth of that,or 108°. Or,when placed as a formula, each interior angle of a regular polygon is given by:180(n−2) n degrees.
BUT-when
unfolded and laid flat,
any polygon,no matter
what the internal angulars total when holding shape,reducts via Euclidean retraction,to zero-over-180 as a potential. Which,y'have to admit,is rather interesting,as it proves mathematics and the paragrams thereof do NOT hold to a constant,even when vectors and planes are non-inclusive.
Thus-light potentially CAN travel at speeds that are 'faster than light',
provided the vectoral mass does NOT exceed the quantum mass!
