You could draw four different triangles in a 4-sided polygon, but two are enough to define the polygon.
Number of sides minus 2 equals the number of triangles within the polygon.
6-2 = 4 triangles
It has 58 triangles
Any polygon other than a triangle can be divided into simpler polygons. They can all be divided into triangles.

It can be divided into 18, hope this helps!

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.
4 triangles make 1 hexagon. (easy way to find out how many triangles there are in a polygon- take number of sides of the polygon, subtract 2 from it, that's your answer!)
6-2 = 4 triangles
It is a general polygon. Unlike with triangles, there is no special name for such a shape.
there are 15 triangles in a 17 sided polygon
There are 17 triangles in a 19 sided polygon
It has 58 triangles
