Article: The polygon can have any number of sides and can be regular or irregular. For example, you might want to find the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon, so you would draw a six-sided shape. Label this vertex A. A vertex is a point where two sides of a polygon meet. The lines should not cross. You should create a number of triangles. You do not have to draw lines to the adjacent vertices, since they are already connected by a side. For example, for a hexagon you should draw three lines, dividing the shape into 4 triangles. Since there are 180 degrees in a triangle, by multiplying the number of triangles in your polygon by 180, you can find the sum of the interior angles of your polygon. For example, since you divided your hexagon into 4 triangles, you would calculate 4180=720{\displaystyle 4 imes 180=720} to find a total of 720 degrees in the interior of your polygon.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Draw the polygon whose angles you need to sum. Choose one vertex. Draw a straight line from Point A to each other vertex in the polygon. Multiply the number of triangles you created by 180.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a wall will help you isolate the pelvis and focus on building comfort and strength with this motion. In addition, the wall will keep your arms and shoulders in line, similar to the position you will want to maintain in the water. Stand with your upper back against the wall and your feet twelve to eighteen inches from the wall. Hold your arms above your head in streamline position. Tilt your pelvis backward by slowly crunching your abdomen in. Bring your middle and lower back slowly in contact with the wall as you do this. Then, reverse the motions. Repeat up to five times. Turn around and stand with your feet about eighteen inches from the wall. Keeping your pelvis above your feet, hold your arms above your head in streamline position and rest them on the wall. Rotating your pelvis forward, slowly bring the rest of your torso and then your thighs into contact with the wall. Reverse these motions and repeat up to five times. Hold the kickboard level in front of you. Extend your arms instead and keep your head up. Do not "pump" the kickboard, but maintain an even, level position, keeping your arms and your shoulders in a steady plane. Imagine you are leaning against a wall in order to keep your torso and arms still; the motion should come from your pelvis and legs. When you feel comfortable with this drill, try the same thing without the kickboard. You may also practice this drill in deep water to build the necessary amplitude. Push off from the wall at the surface and oriented on one side. Extend the bottom arm in front of you and stretch the other arm along the top of your body. Stay in the middle of the lane.

SUMMARY: Practice pelvic rotation against a wall outside of the pool. Try the kick using a kickboard. Practice the kick on your side. Use the dolphin kick with freestyle arms to increase stroke rate.

You might also begin to feel anxious about the changes you experience physically and impending old age and death. Don't ignore your feelings or brush them off. Acknowledge how you feel and don't be afraid to get help. Identify symptoms of depression and anxiety and get help if you need it. Consider keeping a journal, or an autobiography of sorts. Writing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can help you reflect on the kind of life you've led and the kind of life you want. Keeping a journal can also help you maintain perspective and see situations and events from multiple standpoints. Writing about your life can help you gain some perspective about your choices and what you've learned from them. Even if your life isn't what you wished it was, you can reflect on all the ways you've grown as result of your experiences. Choose a therapist who will help you move through the process of your crisis, not end it as quickly as possible. Work toward a rediscovery of who you are and what you want. Be open and honest and allow yourself to express your thoughts and emotions while in therapy. Find a therapist by contacting your insurance provider or a local mental health clinic. You can also ask for a recommendation from a physician, friend, or family member.
