How many diagonals does each vertex have in an octagon?

How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a polygon of 50 sides?
47 sides. Take a vertex of an n-sided polygon. There are n-1 other vertices. It is already joined to its 2 neighbours, leaving n-3 other vertices not connected to it. Thus n-3 diagonals can be drawn in from each vertex. For n=50, n-3 = 50-3 = 47 diagonals can be drawn from each vertex. The total number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon would imply n-3 diagonals from each of the n vertices giving n(n-3). However, the diagonal from vertex A to C would be counted twice, once for vertex A and again for vertex C, thus there are half this number of diagonals, namely: number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon = n(n-3)/2.
How many diagonal can be drawn from a regular hexagon from one vertex?
5 diagonals * * * * * That is not correct since two of these would be lines joining the vertex to adjacent vertices (one on either side). These are sides of the polygon, not diagonals. The number of diagonals from any vertex of a polygon with n sides is n-3.
What can you say about the relationship of the number of diagonals that can be drawn from each vertex of a polygon?
The formula for the number of diagonals is: 0.5*(n^2-3n) whereas 'n' is the number of sides of the polygon
What is the vertices octagon?
An octagon has 8 vertices which is the plural of vertex
There are 6 diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex of an octagon?
No.

Can 6 diagonals be drawn from one vertex of an octagon?
No, I think 5 diagonals would be the maximum from a particular vertex. Let's label the vertices [A through H].For this example, they go clockwise, starting with A and going around to H, so looking at A: B & H are adjacent and both of the segments AB and AH are actually sides of the octagon, not diagonals. The remaining diagonals, from A are:ACADAEAFAG
If all of the diagonals are drawn from a vertex of an n-gon how many triangles are formed?
If all of the diagonals are drawn from a vertex of an octagon, how many triangles are formed
What is the maximum number of triangle that can be formed in a regular octagon by drawing all posaible diagonals from a single vertex Expain your response?
6 triangles because there are 180 degrees in a triangle and 6*180 = 1080 degrees which is the sum of the angles in octagon when added up.
How many diagonals can be drawn from each vertex of an octagon?
it really isn't hard 5
What is the number of diagonals drawn from one vertex on a triangle?
The number of Diagonals in one vertex of a Triangle is 0 (zero)..
If all of the diagonals are drawn from a vertex of an octagon how many triangles are formed?
5 triangles are formed.
How many triangles can be made in an octagon by drawing all the diagonals from one vertex?
You Can Get 6 triangles
What statement can you make about the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex in a polygon?
Number of sides minus two equals number of diagonals drawn from one vertex.
How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a regular octagon?
16 diagonals* * * * *5. To all vertices except itself and one each on either side.
