How many triangles will you get on drawing diagonals from one corner of a polygon of 10 sides?

10Ci.e, no.of selections 3 points that can be made from i.e 10!/(3!*7!)=120
  • -1
No, because each diagonal has been counted twice (once starting with one of its ends and one starting with the other.) There are therefore ½ of 70, i.e. 35 diagonalsin a decagon. Generally, a polygon with n sides has ½n(n-3) diagonals: none for a triangle, 2 for a quadrilateral, 5 for a pentagon, 9 for a hexagon etc.
