Since there is no figure n, the number of triangles in it is described by the expression 0.

The expression that describes the total number of triangles in figure n is n(n+1)(n+2)/6. This can be derived using the formula for calculating the sum of the first n natural numbers, which is n(n+1)/2, and then multiplying it by (n+2)/3 to account for the different possible combinations of vertices in a triangle.
A polygon is a plane figure bounded by a finite number of straight lines. To enclose an area then a minimum of three straight lines are required. All triangles, not just isosceles triangles, are polygons.
