The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to verify both statements regarding the number of diagonals in a convex polygon, specifically a quindecagon (which has 15 sides). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: A convex quindecagon has 90 diagonals. - **Statement 2**: The formula for the number of diagonals in a polygon is given by \( \binom{n}{2} - n \), where \( n \) is the number of sides. 2. **Applying Statement 2**: - First, we need to confirm Statement 2 by using the formula for the number of diagonals in a polygon. - The formula for the number of diagonals \( D \) in a polygon with \( n \) sides is: \[ D = \binom{n}{2} - n \] 3. **Calculating for a Quindecagon**: - A quindecagon has \( n = 15 \) sides. - We calculate \( \binom{15}{2} \): \[ \binom{15}{2} = \frac{15 \times 14}{2} = \frac{210}{2} = 105 \] 4. **Finding the Number of Diagonals**: - Now, we substitute \( \binom{15}{2} \) into the diagonal formula: \[ D = 105 - 15 = 90 \] 5. **Conclusion**: - We find that the number of diagonals in a convex quindecagon is indeed 90, confirming Statement 1. - Since Statement 2 is also correct, we conclude that both statements are true. ### Final Answer: Both Statement 1 and Statement 2 are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1. ---
