Let its sides be x and rearrange the diagonal formula into a quadratic equation:-

So: 0.5(x^2-3x) = 252

Then: x^2-3n-504 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation: gives x a positive value of 24

Therefore the polygon has 24 sides irrespective of it being irregular or regular

How many sides does an irregular polygon have if it has 135 diagonals?

Let the number of sides be x and by solving the equation for diagonals 0.5(x*x-3x) = 135 the solution is -15 or 18 and so therefore it has 18 sides irrespective if it is an irregular or a regular polygon


How many sides does an irregular polygon have when it has 230 diagonals showing work?

Let its sides be x and use the formula: 0.5*(x squared-3x) = 230 So: x squared-3x-460 = 0 Solving the quadratic equation gives x positive value of 23 Therefore the polygon has 23 sides irrespective of it being a regular or an irregular polygon. Check: 0.5*(23^2-(3*23)) = 230 diagonals

What are the total diagonals in an irregular polygon whose interior angles add up to 1980 degrees showing all work?

Suppose the polygon has V vertices.Then sum of interior angles is (V - 2)*180 degrees = 1980 degrees => V - 2 = 1980/180 = 11 => V = 13 A polygon with V vertices has V*(V-3)/2 = 13*10/2 = 65 diagonals.
