how many diagonals can be drawn from each vertex
of a quadrilateral?
__ diagonals per vertex
Step1: Recall the formula for diagonals from a vertex
The formula for the number of diagonals \(d\) that can be drawn from a single vertex of an \(n -\)sided polygon is \(d=n - 3\).
Step2: Identify the number of sides of a quadrilateral
A quadrilateral has \(n = 4\) sides.
Step3: Substitute \(n = 4\) into the formula
Substitute \(n=4\) into \(d=n - 3\). So \(d=4 - 3\).
