How many diagonals can be drawn from one vertex of a polygon of 50 sides?
47 sides. Take a vertex of an n-sided polygon. There are n-1 other vertices. It is already joined to its 2 neighbours, leaving n-3 other vertices not connected to it. Thus n-3 diagonals can be drawn in from each vertex. For n=50, n-3 = 50-3 = 47 diagonals can be drawn from each vertex. The total number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon would imply n-3 diagonals from each of the n vertices giving n(n-3). However, the diagonal from vertex A to C would be counted twice, once for vertex A and again for vertex C, thus there are half this number of diagonals, namely: number of diagonals in an n-sided polygon = n(n-3)/2.

What is the length of one side a hexagon?
The length of on side of an equilateral hexagon is half the diameter of the circumscribing circle.
What is the hexagon folded in haif?
A regular hexagon folded in half would look like an isosceles trapezoid.
How do you find the sides of a rhombus if diagagonal are given?
The diagonals bisect each other at right angles. So you could use Pythagoras on half the diagonals. So, if the diagonals are a and b units long, then half the diagonals are a/2 and b/2 units long. Then, by Pythagoras, the sides of the rhombus are sqrt[(a/2)2 + (b/2)2]
