Subject: diagonals Can you characterize ALL polygons by the number of diagonals it has? |
Hi Katie,
The key to answering this question is in the answer to a question from Adam some time ago. You need to be a little careful with your answer. It looks at first that two polygons with a different number of vertices might have the same number of diagonals. Why isn't this so?
