If you draw all of the diagonals from a single vertex of a convex polygon with 8 sides, how many triangles are formed?

the number of triangles is n-2
n= number of sides
8-2= 6 triangles
if applying this you won't have to draw any diagonals to
find the number of triangles just subtract 2 from the number of sides

hope this helps
