A polygon has 44 diagonals. The number of its sides are

Explanation

Total no of lines from n points is `n_(C_2)`

And total sides of polygon `=\n`

(Combination of two points out of n points)-(number of sides that is equal to number of pints i.e n) `=` Number of diagonals

`
n_(C_2)-\n=44`


`
frac(n(n-1))(2)-\n=44`
