Question 822224: A polygon is such that when all diagonals from one vertex are drawn, eleven triangles are formed. How many sides does the polygon have? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
Answer: The polygon has 13 sides, because 2 of the 13 line
segments from that vertex are not diagonals, but sides of
the polygon, so there are 11 diagonals drawn from that point,
creating 11 triangles.
