By looking at other polygons with less sides, we can see how many triangles they can fit. In a 4-sided polygon (square), you can fit 2 triangles. In a 5-sided polygon (pentagon), you can fit 3 triangles. In a 6-sided polygon (hexagon), you can fit 4 triangles. In an 8-sided polygon (octagon), you can fit 6 triangles. The pattern here is the number of triangles is equal to the number of sides minus 2. T = N - 2 So... 50 - 2 = 48. 48 triangles can fit into a 50-sided polygon.
1~Tetrahedron *4 faces (made of equilateral triangles) *6 edges *5 vertices 2~Hexahedron (cube) *6 faces (made of squares) *12 edges *8 vertices 3~Octrahedron *8 faces (made up of equilateral triangles) *12 edges *6 vertices 4~Icosahedron *20 faces (made of equilateral triangles) *30 edges *12 verticies 5~Dodecahedron *12 faces (made of pentagons) *30 edges *20 vertices.
A polygon with 6 sides is called a hexagon.
There are 6 triangles in an 8 sided octagon
6 Triangles!!
An octogon contains 6 equilateral triangles.
There are 6 triangles
An octagon
6 polygon triangles make a hexagon
To determine the number of triangles in a polygon, we can use the formula n(n-1)(n-2)/6, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. For a 26-sided polygon, the formula would be 26(26-1)(26-2)/6. Simplifying this expression, we get 262524/6 = 10400 triangles.

There are six triangles in an octagon. In any convex polygon, there are two less triangles than the number of sides. So a octagon which has 8 sides, contains 6 triangles.
4 triangles make 1 hexagon. (easy way to find out how many triangles there are in a polygon- take number of sides of the polygon, subtract 2 from it, that's your answer!)
It is: 8-2 = 6 triangles
No it is not. A polygon is a plane space enclosed by straight lines. A pentgram is not one enclosed space but 6 spaces - a pentagon and 5 triangles.
It has 20 diagonals and is made up by 6 triangles
To determine the number of triangles in a 35-gon, we can use the formula n(n-1)(n-2)/6, where n is the number of vertices in the polygon. In this case, a 35-gon has 35 vertices, so the formula becomes 35(35-1)(35-2)/6. Simplifying this expression, we get 353433/6 = 6545 triangles in a 35-gon.
