Use the following information to answer the next question.
How many diagonals containing point B or point D can be drawn in the given polygon?
9
The diagonal of a polygon can be defined as the line segment joining the non-adjacent vertices of the polygon.
Therefore, required diagonals can be drawn in the given polygon as
It can be seen that diagonals containing point B or point D are BD, BE, BF, BG, BH, DA, DF, DG, and DH.
Thus, 9 diagonals containing point B or point D can be drawn in the given polygon.
