As the healthcare reform bill waddles toward reconciliation â a maneuver that would let the Senate pass certain budget-related provisions with âonlyâ a majority vote â Republicans are complaining, louder than ever, about being excluded from Democratsâ efforts to craft legislation. And some in the media are buying it.
A hexagon (six-sided polygon) can be divided into 4 triangles by  drawing all of the diagonals from one vertex (only three lines can  be drawn in this case, since each verteâ¦x already connects to two  others on the edges of the form). If you instead drew lines from  the center to each vertex, you would get 6 triangles. Volcom99sk8r0.
So you take half of the total, meaning 14 diagonals. I checked to make sure this process worked with the other polygons. The hexagon had 6 vertices with 3 diagonals which gives you 18 divided by 2 equals 9 diagonals. I tested the others and this method worked. I also noticed a pattern between the number of sides and how many diagonals came from each vertex. The pentagon had 2, hexagon 3, heptagon 4, and if the pattern continues the octagon has 5.
