Is An apothem is drawn from the center of a polygon to every vertex?
No.
How is an apothem different from a radius?
An apothem is a line drawn perpendicular to a side of a regular polygon from the center of the polygon. A polygon is not a circle so it cannot have a radius. The radius of a circle is drawn from the center to any point in the circumference of the circle. You can draw a circle which encloses the regular polygon touching all vertices. The polygon is said to be inscribed in the circle. The apothem will be less than the radius because the radius is not perpendicular to any side, it can be drawn to a vertex but the apothem is perpendicular to a side, so it is shorter. Ex: draw a square with a circle which inscribes it. You can see that the apothem will be less than the radius.

What is an apothem?

In a regular polygon what is the name of the segment drawn from the center of the polygon to a side that is perpendicular to that side?
Apothem!
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.
What is a line drawn from one vertex to the another vertex called in any polygon?
A segment.
A circle drawn around a polygon so that each vertex of the polygon lies on the circle?
Circumscribed.
How many diagonals can be drawn from a five sided vertex polygon?
5
If in a 54 sided polygon all possible diagonals are drawn from one vertex they divide the interior of the polygon into how many regions?
In a 54-sided polygon, 53 possible diagonals can be drawn from one vertex to another. These diagonals will not intersect. Therefore, the interior will be divided into 54 regions by the 53 diagonals plus the two sides of the original polygon that adjoin the vertex from which the diagonals are drawn.
What statement can you make about the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex in a polygon?
Number of sides minus two equals number of diagonals drawn from one vertex.
How many diagonals can be drawn from any vertex of a 20 sided polygon?
17
