Algebra.Com's Answer #453630 by rothauserc(4718)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! So Euler asked the following question\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In how many ways can a plane convex polygon of n sides be divided into \n" ); document.write( "triangles by diagonals?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and his formula is\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "En = 2*6*10***(4n-10) / (n-1)!\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when dividing the polygon into triangles we, of course, ignore some distant vertices when we draw the diagonals...... \n" ); document.write( " |
