A polygon of n sides can have n-1 diagonal from each vertex. From n vertices, the polygon can have n(n-1)/2 diagonals. The number has to be divided by 2 because we have counted the diagonal from both sides.
So using the formula
d(n)=n(n-1)/2
you can find n.
Hint: n is between 5 and 15.
Do me so hard MM!
