You can have an infinite number of triangles in a polygon, it would really depend on the size of the triangles you are trying to fit in.
If on the other hand you mean that triangles are made by joining the point of the polygon to make triangles then it's the number of sides minus two.

If n equals the number of sides in a polygon what equals the number of trianges within the polygon?
There can be no formula for the number of triangles within the polygon. Any triangle can be split into two by a line from one of the vertices to the opposite side. Thus the number of triangles can be increased by one by simply splitting one triangle. And then THAT triangle can be split in two, and the that one, ...
How can you find the number of diagonals in a polygon?
The formula is: 0.5*(n2-3n) where n is the number of sides of the polygon
What is the least number of angles a polygon can have?
3, it's called a triangle.
Why the sum of angles in triangle is 180 degree?
Formula for finding the total sum of interior angles of any polygon is: (number of sides-2)*180 A triangle has 3 sides. (3-2)*180 = 180 degrees
How do you get the total number of diagonals of a polygon?
The formula is: 0.5*(n2-3n) = diagonals whereas n is the number of sides of the polygon
