Question 461252: A polygon is such that when all diagonals from one vertex are drawn, eleven triangles are formed. How many sides does the polygon have?

We know that the number of the diagonals from a vertex of the polygon is three less then the number of the sides.
In our case since we have eleven diagonals then the number of sides is 11-3=8, thus our polygon is an octagon.
