how many diagonals total could be drawn in aregular 100-gon
---
The 100-gon has 100 vertices.
The # of connecting line segments is 100C2 = (100*99)/(1*2) = 50*99 = 4950
----------------------------
100 of those line segments are sides of the 100-gon.
The rest are diagonals.
-------------------------------
# of diagonals is 4950-100 = 4850
======================================
