In estimating this , we must of course take the enlarged modern meaning of an
angle , including angles greater than two right angles , and also negative angles .
Thus the integral curvature of any closed curve or broken line , whether ...

... this sum is four right angles , —an extension of the result in Euclid , where all
reëntrant polygons are excluded . In the star - shaped figure , it is ten right angles
, wanting the sum of the five acute angles of the figure ; i.e. it is eight right angles .

... with velocities , or ( as we shall do farther on ) with accelerations and forces ,
consists in studying , not the velocity , acceleration , or force , directly , but its
resolved parts parallel to any three assumed directions at right angles to each
other .

Hence B's path about A is A's about B turned through two right angles . And with
regard to G and G ' it is evident that the directions remain the same , while the
lengths are altered in a given ratio ; but this is the definition of similar curves . 66.
