If you draw all of the diagonals from a single vertex of a convex polygon with 8 sides, how many triangles are formed?

Answer
A
5
B
6
C
7
D
8

Explanation

Drawing diagonals from one vertex divides a convex polygon into n − 2 triangles, where n is the number of sides. For an 8-sided polygon, 8 − 2 = 6 triangles, so the correct choice is B, 6.
