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.
