Best answer

(i) A convex quadrilateral

For a convex quadrilateral we shall use the formula n(n-3)/2

So, number of diagonals = 4(4-3)/2 = 4/2 = 2

A convex quadrilateral has 2 diagonals.

(ii) A regular hexagon

For a regular hexagon we shall use the formula n(n-3)/2

So, number of diagonals = 6(6-3)/2 = 18/2 = 9

A regular hexagon has 9 diagonals.

(iii) A triangle

For a triangle we shall use the formula n(n-3)/2

So, number of diagonals = 3(3-3)/2 = 0/2 = 0

A triangle has no diagonals.
