Re: no. of quadrilateral
number the sides: 0 to 9: (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9).
Okay... now you can do the adjacent sides first with the point going out to meet across somewhere, and then add that set to the ones where the two sides are not adjacent.
Now letter the vertices and number the sides as follows:
0Z1A2B3C4D5E6F7G8H9Y
Okay, now we can talk of the first set where two adjacent polygon sides are used like this list of them:
90A
90B
90C
90D
90E
90F
90G
then rotate thse around to get more of them...
for example later you rotate to
45F
45G
45H
45Y
45Z
45A
45B
This is the first set, partially shown, but only 2 tenths of the set is shown above.
So seven times ten is 70, so the first adjacent sided set has 70 four-sided figures.
See next post for the other set...
