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.


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 fit inside a hexagon?

6 Triangles!!


What type of polygon is needed to make a tessellation?

Any polygon can be used to create a tessellation as long as it can fit together without any gaps or overlaps. Regular polygons with equal sides and angles, such as triangles, squares, and hexagons, are most commonly used for tessellations.


Is there a regular polygon with more then 6 sides that will fit in a tile plane?

Not by itself.
