ok
the polygon has n sides
so for making a diagonal we have to have two points

therefore no of such cases is selecting 2 points out of n points i polygon
=nC2
but out of these some cases are there in which we have selected two adjacent points .....no of such adjacent points =n

therefore total no of diagonals= nC2 - n

ans= n(n-3)2
