How many diagonals does each of the following have?
(i) A convex quadrilateral
(ii) A regular hexagon
(iii) A triangle
(i) A convex quadrilateral
Convex quadrilateral has two diagonals.
(ii) A regular hexagon
An n-sided convex polygon has diagonals.
∴Applying the above relation for hexagon:
Number of diagonals =
Regular Hexagon has 9 diagonals.
(iii) A triangle
An n-sided convex polygon has diagonals.
∴Applying the above relation for triangle:
Number of diagonals =
Therefore a triangle has no diagonal
