How many diagnols can fit in a 8 sided shape?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Jobisdone [24]3 years ago
8 0

Drawing a diagonal means to connect a vertex with another non-adjacent vertex.

So, for each vertex, we have 8-3=5 possible diagonals. This leads to a total of 8*5=40 diagonals.

We have to divide this number by 2 though, because in this way we're counting each diagonal twice (connecting points AB or BA gives the same diagonal).

So, an 8 sided shape has 20 diagonals.

x+3 = 2*x - 1
2*x - x= 3+1
x=4.
