An convex n-gon has n(n-3)/2 diagonals.
So a square is a 4-gon and it has 4(1)/2=2 diagonals.
A pentagon has 5(2)/2=5 diagonals.
quadrilaterals always have 2 diagonals.
Here is a link with some pics to help you see the various kinds they have. That is to say, are they perpendicular, to they bisect each other?

What else can I help you with?
What is the diagonal of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has two diagonals the same as all 4 sided quadrilaterals
Can quadrilaterals can be cut into two equal triangles?
Yes, any quadrilateral can be divided into two equal triangles by drawing a diagonal between two of its vertices. This diagonal splits the quadrilateral into two triangles, which can have equal areas if the diagonal divides the shape symmetrically. However, not all quadrilaterals will result in two equal-area triangles unless specific conditions are met regarding their dimensions or angles.
What are the shape in geometry?
There are lot of shapes in geometry. It is called polygons. Triangle, trapezoid, circle, parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, diagonal, square etc. Parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, diagonal, square, and trapezoid are quadrilaterals.
Do diagonal of a quadrilateral always intersect?
Not always. They would only intersect when the internal angles are each less than 180 degrees - which not all quadrilaterals have.
Do all irregular quadrilaterals?
Not all irregular quadrilaterals share the same properties; however, they all have four sides and angles that are not equal or do not have equal lengths. Irregular quadrilaterals can have varying side lengths and angles, distinguishing them from regular quadrilaterals like squares or rectangles. Examples include trapezoids and general quadrilaterals that do not conform to specific classifications.
Which quadrilaterals have a diagonal that is also a line of symmetry?
A square
What is the diagonal of a parallelogram?
A parallelogram has two diagonals the same as all 4 sided quadrilaterals
What quadrilaterals have diagonal that bisect each other?
A parallelogram a rectangle a square and a rhombus

Do quadrilaterals have congruent angles?
In general, NO.In general, NO.In general, NO.In general, NO.
Which quadrilaterals have perpendicular bisecting diagonals?
All quadrilaterals have intersecting diagonals.Some symmetric quadrilaterals have perpendicularly bisecting diagonals.Equilateral parallelogramsof which the square is a special case...and the kite where two pairs of adjacent sides are the same length has one diagonal perpendicularly bisected by the other
Do the diagonals of all quadrilaterals bisect?
No, in general, they do not.
Can quadrilaterals be divided into equal triangles?
In general, no.
What is a line drawn between 2 vertices which are not next to each other called?
One AnswerFor quadrilaterals (parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid) its called a diagonal Another:For any polygon or polyhedron, it is a diagonal.

How do you dissect a square into 4 quadrilaterals except for squares?
2 diagonal lines from corner to corner to create 4 equal triangles
What is the general term for a four sided figure?
quadrilaterals
