If diagonals are the lines that connect minus the sides to make the 21-gon:
\n" ); document.write( "I have thought about polygons like these, and my idea can make this easy:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) + (2) + (3) + .... for (s - 1) amount of times where \"s\" is the number of sides
\n" ); document.write( "1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 ....
\n" ); document.write( "\"SUM+=+%28n%2F2%29%28a1+%2B+an%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"SUM+=+%2820%2F2%29%281+%2B+20%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"SUM+=+%2810%29%2821%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"SUM+=+210\"
\n" ); document.write( "minus the sides that connect:
\n" ); document.write( "\"210+-+21+=+x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"189+=+x\"
\n" ); document.write( "
