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
What is the Practical application for finding the number of diagonals in a regular polygon?
The diagonals (drawn from a point) help in dividing the regular polygon into smaller triangles. The sum of the areas of these smaller triangles help in determining the total area of the polygon.
What is the total number of diagonals in a regular polygon with an interior angle of 120 degrees?
If it is a regular polygon with each interior angle of 120 degrees then it is an hexagon which will have 0.5((6^2)-3*6) equals 9 diagonals
Total of 1175 diagonal can be drawn in a polygon?
It works out that a polygon with 1175 diagonals has 50 sides
What is the total number of diagonal lines for a hexagon?
The total number of diagonals for a convex (or concave) polygon, a hexagon being of the former type, is given by the equation (n2 - 3n)/2, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. A hexagon has 6 sides, so plugging the number 6 into the above equation for n, one finds that a hexagon has: [62 - 3(6)]/2 = (36 - 18)/2 = 18/2 = 9 diagonals.
