The number of triangles that can be formed within a regular polygon depends on the number of sides the polygon has. For an n-sided polygon, where n is greater than or equal to 3, you can form n-2 triangles within the polygon. This is because each triangle is formed by connecting one vertex to any other two non-adjacent vertices. So, for example, in a regular pentagon (5-sided polygon), you can form 5-2 = 3 triangles.

How many triangles in a 50 sided shape?
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.
How many triangles fit inside a hexagon?
6 Triangles!!
How many triangles fit in a diamond?
Oh, dude, a diamond is just a fancy shape with four sides, not a literal gemstone. So, technically, you can't fit any triangles inside a diamond because it's not a container. But if you're talking about how many triangles you can draw inside a diamond shape, well, that's a whole different story, man.
What has no perpendicular sides and 4 equal sides?
Any rhombus definitely fits the description, and any polygon with more than 4 sides ... regular or not ... can fit it too.
Will a regular isosceles triangle tessellate?
No, a regular isosceles triangle will not tessellate. In order for a shape to tessellate, it must be able to fit together with copies of itself without any gaps or overlaps. Regular isosceles triangles have angles of 90, 45, and 45 degrees, which do not allow for a repeating pattern that covers a plane without any spaces. Regular polygons that tessellate include equilateral triangles, squares, and hexagons.
What is the total interior angle of a regular polygon if 20 triangles can be drawn inside the polygon?
20 triangles will fit into a 22 sided polygon whose interior angles add up to 3600 degrees

What is the angle sum for a twenty-five sided polygon?
You see how many triangles fit into the shape and multiply by 180 degrees
What is the formula in identifying the number of triangle in a polygon?
You can have an infinite number of triangles in a polygon, it would really depend on the size of the triangles you are trying to fit in.If on the other hand you mean that triangles are made by joining the point of the polygon to make triangles then it's the number of sides minus two.-n(sides)-2
How many triangle fit in a hexagon?
That would depend on which hexagon and what triangles. A small hexagon might not have room for any large triangles. A large hexagon will have room fro many small triangles.If you have a regular hexagon and connect the vertices you will have drawn six equilateral triangles
Are the angle of a regular polygon congruent?
The term congruent is used in comparing two geometrical figures, it does not fit in this context. The angles of a regular polygon are equal.
How many triangles can you fit in a 20 sided polygon?
To calculate the number of triangles that can be formed by connecting the vertices of a 20-sided polygon, we can use the formula n(n-1)(n-2)/6, where n is the number of vertices. For a 20-sided polygon, n = 20, so the formula becomes 20(20-1)(20-2)/6 = 1140. Therefore, you can fit 1140 triangles within a 20-sided polygon.
How many triangles fit inside a hexagon?
6 Triangles!!
What type of polygon is needed to make a tessellation?
All triangles will tessellate. All quadrilaterals will tessellate There are 15 classes of convex pentagons (the latest discovered in 2015) which will tessellate. Regular hexagons will tessellate. In addition, there are 3 classes of irregular convex hexagons which will tessellate. No convex polygon with 7 or more sides will tessellate.
Is there a regular polygon with more then 6 sides that will fit in a tile plane?
Not by itself.
How many triangles can you fit in a 12 sided shape?
1o triangles
How many traingles do a heptogan have?
You can fit 7 regular/equilateral triangles inside a Heptagon since a Heptagon has got 7 sides and vertices.
