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
