You Can Get 6 triangles
There are 8
depends on what shape that vertex is in
If you are merely drawing from one vertex to all the others, the number of triangles in any n-sided figure is equal to n-2. In this case, a heptagon has seven sides, and thus (7 - 2) = 5 triangles can be drawn.
A hexagon (six-sided polygon) can be divided into 4 triangles by drawing all of the diagonals from one vertex (only three lines can be drawn in this case, since each vertex already connects to two others on the edges of the form). If you instead drew lines from the center to each vertex, you would get 6 triangles.
