CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. (n−2)×180=1980(n - 2) \times 180 = 1980, so n−2=11n - 2 = 11 and n=13n = 13.

  2. Diagonals = 13×(13−3)2=1302=65\frac{13 \times (13 - 3)}{2} = \frac{130}{2} = 65.

Worth noting

44 comes from forgetting the '− 2' and taking 11 sides. 78 counts all pairs of vertices, sides included.
