a heptagon has 7 sides. you cannot draw a diagonal to the 2 adjacent vertices, so 7-2 = 5. there would be 5 diagonals.

How many diagonals can be drawn from anyone vertex?
Three fewer than the total number of vertices.
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.
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
How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a pentagon?
Three
How many diagonals can be drawn from the fix vertex?
Depends on the shape.
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.
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)..
What is the number of diagonals drawn from one vertex on a 13-gon?
There are 10 possible diagonals drawn from one vertex of the 13-gon which divide it into 11 nonoverlapping triangles.
A heptagon can be divided into how many triangles by drawing all of the diagonals from one vertex?
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.
What is the number of triangles formed in a decagon when all the diagonals from one vertex are drawn?
8
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
How many diagonals can you drawn from one vertex in a 35 sided polygon?
A diagonal of a polygon is a segment drawn from one vertex to another non-adjacent vertex in a polygon. This leaves 32 diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex in a 35 sided polygon.
How many diagonals can be drawn from anyone vertex?
Three fewer than the total number of vertices.
What is the diagonal of 16-gon from one vertex?
If you mean "How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a figure with 16 sides", the formula is n-3, where "n" being the number of sides of the figure. So 16-3 = 13 diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex.
There are 6 diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex of an octagon?
No.
How many diagonals can be drawn from any vertex of a 20-sided polygon?
It is 18 diagonals
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.
