. . . and she's about to let us in on it. Polly, great to see you. What's the scoop?
- 00:31
<<Polly>> Oh, it's nothing really. It's just my angles.

<<Mary>> Your ankles? Well, they are lovely. <<Polly, a little testy>> Not my ankles, you

twit, my angles.

As you know, I'm famous for being a many-sided individual. . .

. . .and I want to let my fans know how easy it is to determine all my angles no matter

what shape I'm in. <<Mary>> Oookkkaaay.
- 00:54
<<Polly>> It's quite simple really. All you have to do is divide me into triangles.
- 00:59
Since all triangles have 180°, you just have to add them up to know my angles.
- 01:05
<<Mary>> Well, that's very interesting...
- 01:08

a bit of a pattern here. <<Polly>> Well, I should hope so.

If you count my sides and subtract 2, you get . . .

<<Mary interrupting>> . . . the total number of triangles!

<<Polly>> I think this interview is finished. <<Mary>> There you have it. Once again Geometry
