    A polygon is a closed, plane shape with 3 or more straight sides. There are different types of polygons named according to the number of sides, such as triangles with 3 sides, quadrilaterals with 4 sides, pentagons with 5 sides, and hexagons with 6 sides. The number of diagonals in a polygon can be calculated by taking the number of sides, subtracting 3, dividing by 2.

    What is a polygon?

    A polygon is an enclosed figure bounded by


    3 or more sides

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Examples:
    How to count the
    diagonals of a polygon
    ----------------------------------------------------
    Let n be the amount of sides on
    said polygon
    Example: n = 5(pentagon)

    5(5-3) ÷ 2

    = 25 - 15 ÷ 2
    = 10 ÷ 2
    =5

    Thus, the number of diagonals is 5


    Types of polygons
    --------------------------------------------

    Polygons are named according to the


    number of sides it has
