Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (N - 2) x 180
The number of diagonals in a polygon = 1/2 N(N-3)
The number of triangles (when you draw all the diagonals from one vertex) in a polygon = (N - 2)

32.) Length of a Circular Arc: (with central angle )
if the angle is in degrees, then length = x (PI/180) x r
if the angle is in radians, then length = r x
33.) Area of Circle Sector: (with central angle )
if the angle is in degrees, then area = ( /360)x PI r
