A regular polygon of \(n\) sides has 170 diagonals, then \(n\) is equal to

  1. A \(12\)
  2. B \(17\)
  3. C \(20\)
  4. D \(25\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, \(\begin{array}{rlrl}\text { Number of diagonals } & =\frac{n(n-3)}{2} \\ & \therefore & 170 & =\frac{n(n-3)}{2} \\ \Rightarrow & 340 & =n(n-3) \\ \Rightarrow & 20 \times 17 & =n(n-3) \\ \Rightarrow & n & =20\end{array}\)
