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.

Any rhombus definitely fits the description, and any polygon with more than 4 sides ... regular or not ... can fit it too.
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.

20 triangles will fit into a 22 sided polygon whose interior angles add up to 3600 degrees
You see how many triangles fit into the shape and multiply by 180 degrees
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
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
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.
6 Triangles!!
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.
Not by itself.
1o triangles
You can fit 7 regular/equilateral triangles inside a Heptagon since a Heptagon has got 7 sides and vertices.
