To calculate the number of triangles that can be formed by connecting the vertices of a 20-sided polygon, we can use the formula n(n-1)(n-2)/6, where n is the number of vertices. For a 20-sided polygon, n = 20, so the formula becomes 20(20-1)(20-2)/6 = 1140. Therefore, you can fit 1140 triangles within a 20-sided polygon.

An infinite number.

Just when you think you are done, pick any triangle, draw a line from any of its vertices to the opposite side and you have spilt that triangle in two. As a result the number of triangles is increased by one. You think you are done? Pick any triangle, ...

Well, honey, you can fit a total of 170 triangles in a 20-sided polygon. Just make sure those triangles play nice and don't start any drama in there.
