How many diagonals can be drawn from a vertex of an n gon?

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.


How many vertices does a prism have?

A prism has 2n vertices, where n is the number of sides in its base polygon. This is because each side of the base polygon is connected to another side by a vertical edge, and each vertex is formed at the intersection of two edges. So, a prism with a pentagonal base would have 10 vertices (5 vertices from the base polygon and 5 vertices from the top polygon).


Which has more vertices a shape with 4sides or a shape with 3 sides?

A shape with four sides has four vertices and a shape with three sides has three vertices, so a shape with four sides has more vertices than a shape with three sides.


Is half of a circle a polygon?

No. a polygon must have at least 3 sides


How many triangles can you fit in a regular polygon?

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 is the number of vertices for a prism related to the name of the prism?

Divide the number of vertices by 3. Find the name of the polygon with that many sides. The prism has that polygon as a base. For example, a prism with 24 vertices. Divide by 3 so that is 8. An 8 sided polygon is an octagon. The name is an octagon-based prism.


Describe two polygons with vertices and sides?

A triangle is the simplest polygon with three vertices and 3 sides. A dodecahedron has 12 vertices and 12 sides. There is no limit to the number of vertices and sides that a polygon can have - except that the two numbers must be the same.


What is the pattern for a polygon with odd numbered sides?

3 sides and vertices, 5 sides and vertices, 7 sides and vertices, and so on. There is no other pattern, necessarily.


Does a polygon usually have more sides or more vertices?

No because they are both have the same values as for example 3 sides then 3 vertices

How many vertices has an n-sided polygon?

The answer is "n" If the polygon has 3 sides, it also has a Vertices (points) if it has 4, it has 4 Vertices 5 it has 5 etc etc...


How many faces edges vertices does a polygon have?

Ah, polygons are like little friends with different personalities! The number of faces, edges, and vertices a polygon has depends on its shape. For example, a triangle has 3 sides, 3 vertices, and 3 angles. Remember, each polygon is unique and beautiful in its own way!
