Q:

A polygon has 44 diagonals, then the number of its sides are ?

A) 13 B) 9
C) 11 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11

Explanation:

Let the number of sides be n. 

The number of diagonals is given by nC2 - n  

Therefore, nC2 - n = 44, n>0 

nC2 - n = 44

n- 3n - 88 = 0 

n2 -11n + 8n - 88 = 0  

n(n - 11) + 8(n - 11) = 0 

n = -8 or n = 11.

 

As n>0, n will not be -8. Therefore, n=11.
