The formula for the number of diagonals that an N-sided polygon has is
# diagonals = N(N-3)/2

N(N-3)/2

9(N-3)/2

9*(9-3)/2

9*6/2 = 54/2

How many parallel sides does a 10 sided regular polygon have?

5 pairs of parallel sides.


How many parallel sides in a 25 sided polygon?

None. Since the number of sides is odd, there can be no parallel sides.


How many parallel sides are there in a regular polygon with eleven sides?

None.


How many shapes have parallel lines?

Infinitely many. Every regular polygon with 2n sides has n pairs of parallel sides. Then there are irregular polygons which can have parallel sides. And there are also irregular shapes which have parallel sides.


How many parallel sides does polygon have?

A 3-sided polygon has 0 parallel sides. A 4-sided polygon can have 0, 2 or 4 parallel sides. A 5-sided polygon can have 0, 2, 3 or 4 parallel sides. In general, an n-sided polygon can have 0, 2, 3, ..., n-1, or n parallel sides where n>5. A polygon with n sides can have n pairs of parallel sides (if n is even) or (n-1)/2 pairs if n is odd AND greater than 3. But it need not have any.


How many parallel lines a decagone have?

A decagon has 10 sides. Any regular polygon with four or more sides will have pairs of sides that are parallel. A decagon will have 5 pairs of parallel sides.
