Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the number of vertices of the polygon.
then there are n sides.
N = number of all connections between all the vertices =
n C 2,
N = n(n-1)/2
Number of diagonals = N - n = n (n - 3)/2 = 27 given
n² - 3 n - 54 = 0
(n - 9) (n + 6) = 0
n = 9
so there are 9 sides and 9 vertices.
Hope it helps you.
