What is the relationship between the number of triangles and the sum of the angle measures of the polygon?

In a polygon with n sides, the sum of the interior angles is given by (n-2) * 180 degrees. Each triangle has interior angle sum of 180 degrees. Therefore, the number of triangles that can be formed in a polygon is equal to (n-2) * 180 / 180, which simplifies to (n-2). In other words, the number of triangles is two less than the number of sides in the polygon.

Is a triangle a small regular polygon?
A regular polygon is any polygon that has sides which are the same length and angles whose measures are equal. An equilateral triangle (also equiangular triangle) is a regular polygon. Other isosceles triangles (equilateral triangles are isosceles, but they are an exception) and scalene triangles are not regular polygons. A side note: Only in a triangle is a polygon regular solely if it is equilateral. (Since an equilateral triangle is equiangular as well). This is NOT always true in other polygons, like quadrilaterals, where it can be equilateral but not necessarily equiangular (a rhombus) or equiangular but not equilateral (a rectangle).
How can you find the area of a polygon that is not one for which you know an area formula?
Divide the polygon into triangles. Calculate the areas of the triangles and then sum these.
What is the difference between a triangle and a polygon?
The triangle is a polygon with 3 sides. The polygon is a closed planar geometric shape made of line segments connected end to end to end. All triangles are polygons, but not all polygons are triangles. There are many variations on the theme when it comes to a polygon. There are many, many different kinds.
