An infinite number.

Just when you think you are done, pick any triangle, draw a line from any of its vertices to the opposite side and you have spilt that triangle in two. As a result the number of triangles is increased by one. You think you are done? Pick any triangle, ...

How many triangles in a 50 sided shape?

By looking at other polygons with less sides, we can see how many triangles they can fit. In a 4-sided polygon (square), you can fit 2 triangles. In a 5-sided polygon (pentagon), you can fit 3 triangles. In a 6-sided polygon (hexagon), you can fit 4 triangles. In an 8-sided polygon (octagon), you can fit 6 triangles. The pattern here is the number of triangles is equal to the number of sides minus 2. T = N - 2 So... 50 - 2 = 48. 48 triangles can fit into a 50-sided polygon.

What is the formula in identifying the number of triangle in a polygon?

You can have an infinite number of triangles in a polygon, it would really depend on the size of the triangles you are trying to fit in.If on the other hand you mean that triangles are made by joining the point of the polygon to make triangles then it's the number of sides minus two.-n(sides)-2
