If all of the diagonals are drawn from a vertex of a hexagon, how many triangles are formed? 2 3 4 5

iYuko (iyuko):

Hexagons have 6 vertices

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

How many sides does a hexagon have? sides - 2 = number of triangles

iYuko (iyuko):

So you can draw how many diagonals?

iYuko (iyuko):

OOPS! I'm doing this wrong!

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Just an example, pentagon has 5 sides 5-2 = 3 triangles|dw:1432094061542:dw|

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

It's not supposed to be 3-D :p and it's not really drawn perfectly :p

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
