Answer:
n = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of diagonal that can be drawn in a polygon of n sides is given by :
If the number of diagonals are 230, then put D = 230 in above formula. So,
It is a quadratic equation, the value of n is equal to 20.
It means that for 230 diagonal, there are 20 sides of the polygon.
Please note that dilation does not affect angles. Thus, if an image is dilated the angle remains the same and does not change.
Therefore, even if is dilated to
by a factor of 1.5 (or by any factor for that matter), the linear dimensions of the original triangle
will either get stretched or get shrunk by a factor of 1.5 but the angles of the original triangle will not be affected in any case.
Please note that this is true for all two dimensional geometric shapes.
