Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for finding the number of diagonals in any polygon= n(n-3)/2
n= number of sides in a polygon.
For triangle= n(n-3)/2
= 3(3-3)/2
=3(0)/2
= 0/2
=0
There are no diagonals in a triangle.
Quadrilateral= n(n-3)/2
= 4(4-3)/2
=4(1)/2
=4/2
=2
There are 2 diagonals in a quadrilateral.
Octagon= n(n-3)/2
=8(8-3)/2
=8(5)/2
=40/2
=20
There are 20 diagonals in a octagon.
Decagon = n(n-3)/2
=10(10-3)/2
=10(7)/2
=70/2
=35
There are 35 diagonals in a decagon.
