How many diagonals does a shape with 8 sides have?
The formula for determining the number of diagonals in a shape is n(n-3)/2 where n=vertices, (corners or intersections of geometric shapes). For an eight sided shape we replace n with 8. 8(8-3)/2 8(5)/2 (8x5)/2 40/2=20 An octagon contains 20 diagonals. For a further example we can determine the diagonals in a shape with 5 sides: 5(5-3)/2 5(2)/2 (5x2)/2 10/2=5 A Pentagon contains 5 diagonals.
What is the largest number of diagonals that can be drawn inside a polygon with n sides?
Formula: number of diagonals = 1/2 * n(n-3) where n is the number of sides or vertices Example: to get the number of diagonals in a pentagon pentagon has 5 sides or vertices; thus, n = 5 no. of diagonals: = 1/2 * n(n-3) = 1/2 * 5(5-3) = 1/2 * 5(2) = 1/2 * 10 = 10/2 = 5
How many diagonals in pentagon have?
It has 5 diagonals.Formula: number of distinct diagonals = n(n-3)/2where n is the number of sides (or vertices)number of diagonals in pentagon:= 5(5-3)/2= 5(2)/2= 10/2= 5Answer: There are 5 diagonals in pentagon.
What has 5 sides and 5 diagonals?
It is a 5 sided pentagon
What are the mathematical names of the first ten polygons and their properties?
All polygons have 3 or more sides having exterior angles that add up to 360 degrees and the first 10 can be classed as follows in order of their geometrical names, number of sides, sum of interior angles and number of diagonals:- 1 Triangle: 3 sides, 180 degrees and no diagonals 2 Quadrilateral: 4 sides, 360 degrees and 2 diagonals 3 Pentagon: 5 sides, 540 degrees and 5 diagonals 4 Hexagon: 6 sides, 720 degrees and 9 diagonals 5 Heptagon or Septagon: 7 sides, 900 degrees and 14 diagonals 6 Octagon: 8 sides, 1080 degrees and 20 diagonals 7 Nonagon: 9 sides, 1260 degrees and 27 diagonals 8 Decagon: 10 sides, 1440 degrees and 35 diagonals 9 Undecagon: 11 sides, 1620 degrees and 44 diagonals 10 Dodecagon: 12 sides, 1800 degrees and 54 diagonals Note that all polygons can be regular, irregular, congruent or similar
