解析
  1. [ 3 ] How many diagonals does a regular undecagon (11-sided polygon) have? Answer: 44 There are 8 diagonals coming from the first vertex, 8 more from the next, 7 from the next, 6 from the next, 5 from the next, etc., and 1 from the last, for 8 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 44 total. Third method: Each vertex has 8 diagonals touching it. There are 11 vertices. Since each diagonal 8 · 11 touches two vertices, this counts every diagonal twice, so there are = 44 diagonals. 2
