The number of \"diagonals=d\" in a polygon is: \"d+=+%281%2F2%29+N%28N-3%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you have a pentagon, then \"N=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"d+=+%281%2F2%29+5%285-3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+%281%2F2%29+5%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+%281%2F2%29+10+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d+=+5+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The number of \"triangles=T\" (when you draw all the diagonals from \"one\"\"+vertex\") in a polygon is: \"T+=+%28N+-+2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the number of \"triangles=T\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+%285+-+2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"T+=+3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
