n-3 diagonals. Of the n vertices of the polygon, you cannot draw diagonals to the two adjacent vertices since these are sides of the polygon and so not diagonals. And you cannot draw a diagonal from a vertex to itself. So those are three vertices that are ruled out, leaving n-3.

There are 10 possible diagonals drawn from one vertex of the 13-gon which divide it into 11 nonoverlapping triangles.
If you mean "How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a figure with 16 sides", the formula is n-3, where "n" being the number of sides of the figure. So 16-3 = 13 diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex.
13 The correct answer is 12. From any one vertex, you can draw a diagonal to all but 3 vertices: the vertex itself and the next vertex on either side of your vertex (these would be sides of your shape, not diagonals).

There are 44 diagonals in an 11 sided undecagon
