What else can I help you with?
How many triangles will be formed if you draw diagonals from a single vertex of a convex polygon with 8 sides?
It is: 8-2 = 6 triangles
Why can't you draw a diagonal in a triangle?
Because it has only 3 sides and a polygon must have 4 or more sides to have diagonals. A diagonal of a polygon is a line segment which connects two non-adjacent vertices. Since from any vertex of a triangle, you are adjacent to both of the other vertex, there are not any non-adjacent vertices.
Octagon 8 sides What is the maximum number of diagonals that you can draw from any one vertex?
5.
How many diagonals can you draw from one vetex in a polygon with 35 sides?
It depends if the polygon is convex or concave but if it is a regular polygon it would have 560
How many diagonals can be drawn from a vertex of an n-gon?
An n-gon has n(n-3)/2 total diagonals. You can draw n-3 diagonals from each vertex ( n>3) ( A triangle doesn't really have a diagonal) An alternative way of seeing this: from any vertex, you can draw a diagonal to any other vertex except itself and the immediate neighbour on either side (the latter would be sides of the n-gon). This gives n-3 diagonals.
How many diagonals can you drawn from one vertex in a 35 sided polygon?
In a polygon with n sides, the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex is given by the formula (n-3). Therefore, in a 35-sided polygon, you can draw (35-3) = 32 diagonals from one vertex.
How many diagonals can be drawn from a vertex of an n gon?
n-3 diagonals. Of the n vertices of the polygon, you cannot draw diagonals to the two adjacent vertices since these are sides of the polygon and so not diagonals. And you cannot draw a diagonal from a vertex to itself. So those are three vertices that are ruled out, leaving n-3.

How many diagonals does polygon have?
In a polygon with n sides, we have n(n-3)/2 diagonals. In a convex polygon with n sides, you can draw n-3 diagonals from each vertex, but you are counting each one twice you so you need to divide by do. That is why we have n(n-3) divided by 2
How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a decagon?
Oh, dude, a decagon has 10 sides, right? So, if you pick one vertex and want to draw diagonals, you can draw diagonals to all the other vertices except the adjacent ones, which are already sides. So, you can draw 7 diagonals from that one vertex. Math can be fun, like a puzzle... or a headache, depending on how you look at it.
Why you need to minus 3 from n in finding the diagonals in the polygons?
You cannot draw a diagonal from a vertex to itself. So that is 1. Also, the diagonals to the adjacent vertices on either side will actually be the sides of the polygon, not diagonals. Those are the other 2.

How many diagonals could be drawn from one vertex of a 15-gon?
13 The correct answer is 12. From any one vertex, you can draw a diagonal to all but 3 vertices: the vertex itself and the next vertex on either side of your vertex (these would be sides of your shape, not diagonals).
How many triangles are in a 15-gon?
fourteen. If you draw if diagonals from one vertex there are 14. fourteen. If you draw if diagonals from one vertex there are 14.
How many diagonals can you draw from one vertex of a heptagon?
There are 5 diagonals
