# Property of nonconvex polygons

How to prove that each non-convex polygon with no self-intersecting parts, has at least one interior angle which size is less then $180$ degrees.

In case of self-intersecting polygons, what is your definition of "interior angle"? –  dtldarek Jan 25 '13 at 11:35

Hint: Consider the vertex with the largest $x$-coordinate.

The formula for the sum of the angles of a polygon, as a function of the number of sides, holds for non-convex as well as for convex polygons, and the result follows immediately from that formula.

Can you please share proof of that formula for non-convex polygons –  Ashot Jan 25 '13 at 11:54
Why not first look at the proof for convex polygons, and see whether it works? –  Gerry Myerson Jan 25 '13 at 12:25
There the polygon is divided into triangles, which is not trivial for non-convex polygons, in fact I need to prove it using this affirmation –  Ashot Jan 25 '13 at 12:38
That's one way. Another is by considering "exterior angles". –  Gerry Myerson Jan 25 '13 at 23:01
