Detailed Solution

Given, an octagon
The number of sides in an octagon is n = 8.
We know that,
Number of diagonals in n sided polygon = n(n3) 2  , where, n is the number of sides of any given polygon.
Substituting the value of n in the formula
= 8(83) 2  
Simplifying,
= 8×5 2 = 40 2 =20  
Hence, the number of diagonals of an octagon is 20.
Therefore, option 1 is correct.
