Answer:

diagonal of a polygon is a line from a vertex to a non-adjacent vertex. So a triangle, the simplest polygon, has no diagonals. You cannot draw a line from one interior angle to any other interior angle that is not also a side of the triangle.

Explanation:

To find the length of the diagonal (or hypotenuse) of a right triangle, substitute the lengths of the two perpendicular sides into the formula a2 + b2 = c2, where a and b are the lengths of the perpendicular sides and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Then solve for c
