How many sides does an irregular polygon have if it has 252 diagonals showing work?

∙ 9y ago
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 are there in the polygon if the number of diagonals is twice as the number of sides?
A 7 sided polygon has 14 diagonals
How many sides does a polygon have with 65 diagonals?
It will have 13 sides because 0.5*(132-39) = 65 diagonals
What are the number of sides if the polygon has 44 diagonals?
11
What is the equation for the number of diagonals that can be formed in a polygon?
The equation is: 0.5*(n2-3n) = diagonals whereas n is the number of sides of the polygon
How many diagonals can be drawn from one angle of a polygon with 64 sides?
64 sides = 64 angles From one angle you can draw (64 - 2) diagonals = 62. Lines from an angle to the immediately adjacent angles are sides, not diagonals.
What regular polygon has 27 diagonals?
It has 9 sides and it can be an regular or a irregular polygon which is called a nonagon Check: 0.5*(81-27) = 27 diagonals
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 type of polygon has 20 diagonals?
A regular octogon (8 sides) has 20 diagonals. An irregular octogon also has 20 diagonals, but only if all its points point outwards.
How many diagonals are there in a polygon of 11 sides?
how many diagonals are there iin a polygon of 11 sides
104 diagonals polygon?
A polygon that has 104 diagonals will have 16 sides
How many diagonals does a polygon with 3 sides have?
That polygon is called a "triangle". It has no 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.
How many sides are there in the polygon if the number of diagonals is twice as the number of sides?
A 7 sided polygon has 14 diagonals
The number of diagonals that can be drawn in a polygon with n sides can be determined by nn - 32 How many diagonals can be drawn in a polygon with 10 sides?
38 diagonals
How many diagonals are in a polygon with 14 sides?
There are 77 diagonals
Which polygon has number of sides is equal to the number of diagonals?
The five sided Polygon has 5 diagonals
