Some BasicsA polygon can have as many side as possible, as long as it's not round. Well, a triangle is 3-sided, so if you mean how many sets of three sides, so no. Definition: Triangles of a polygon are the triangles created by drawing line segments from one vertex of a polygon to all the other vertices.AnswerFor a regular polygon having 'n' sides, the number of triangles that can be drawn in it is (n-2). Hence, you can draw 2 triangles in a square, 3 in a pentagon, 4 in a hexagon, etc.For an irregular polygon, this formula may not always hold true.(check the related link)
The sides of a polygon do not generally have specific names. Polygons with 3 sides are triangles.
depends on the side of the triangles?
A regular polygon is any polygon that has sides which are the same length and angles whose measures are equal. An equilateral triangle (also equiangular triangle) is a regular polygon. Other isosceles triangles (equilateral triangles are isosceles, but they are an exception) and scalene triangles are not regular polygons. A side note: Only in a triangle is a polygon regular solely if it is equilateral. (Since an equilateral triangle is equiangular as well). This is NOT always true in other polygons, like quadrilaterals, where it can be equilateral but not necessarily equiangular (a rhombus) or equiangular but not equilateral (a rectangle).
