Because consecutive vertices are already connected by the edges of the polygon.

Answer:

Basically, a segment which connects two consecutive vertices is not a diagonal, it's actually a side of a polygon.

So, in order to get a diagonal, you need to unit two nonconsecutive vertices, that way you won't get a side but a diagonal.

Actually, a diagonal of a polygon is defined as a segment which connects two nonconsecutive vertices.

Therefore, by definition, a diagonal must connect two nonconsecutive vertices.

Answer:

  a = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of symmetry for the parabola given by ...

  y = ax² +bx +c

is

  x = -b/(2a)

Using the given values, we have ...

  -2 = -(-4)/(2a)

Multiplying by -a/2, we get ...

  a = (4/2)(-1/2) = -1

The value of "a" is -1.
