Best answer

(i) A convex quadrilateral

Convex quadrilateral has two diagonals.

(ii) A regular hexagon

An n-sided convex polygon has \(\frac{n(n-3)}{2}\) diagonals.

∴ Applying the above relation for hexagon:

Number of diagonals = \(\frac{6(6-3)}{2}\) = \(\frac{18}{2}\) = 9

Regular Hexagon has 9 diagonals.

(iii) A triangle

An n-sided convex polygon has \(\frac{n(n-3)}{2}\) diagonals.

∴ Applying the above relation for triangle:

Number of diagonals = \(\frac{3(3-3)}{2}\) = 0

Therefore a triangle has no diagonal
