    Law Polygon
In summary, the polygon law, also known as the exterior angle sum theorem, states that the sum of the exterior angles of a convex polygon is always equal to 360 degrees. It is used in geometry to calculate the total number of sides in a convex polygon and determine the measure of each exterior angle. The formula for the exterior angle sum in a convex polygon is (n-2) * 180, where n is the number of sides in the polygon. However, it cannot be applied to non-convex polygons. The polygon law is closely related to other geometry concepts such as the sum of interior angles, congruent and supplementary angles, and is used in various proofs and constructions.

Largely based on some of your previous threads, I would guess you are referring either to forces in equilibrium or to finding a resultant of forces by chaining arrows together, head to tail. Please confirm.
