\[\Large{\text{How to find the no. of diagonals in any Polygon???}}\]
umber of diagonals = n(n-3)/2
Suppose a polygon has n vertices (and sides). From each vertex, a diagonal can be drawn to all vertices, excluding itself and the two adjacent vertices. So n-3 diagonals can be drawn from each vertex. Multiplying by the full complement of n vertices gives n(n-3). However, as things stand we have counted each diagonal twice: once at both ends. Dividing by two gives the actual number of diagonals. number of diagonals = n(n-3)/2 Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_formula_for_the_number_of_diagonals_in_a_polygon#ixzz21OPHqcB6
HAHAHAHA @walac found the answer first :) & given a medal ;)
@J.L. found the answer from the same reference I did.
but u were fast ;)
hahaha, I was... But we are not in a competition, this is a collaboration group, but sometimes a little fun won't kill anyone...
yes right it was fun
