Number of diagonals of an 8-sided figure:
Explanation and memory cue
The number of diagonals in a polygon with n sides is given by the formula n(n-3)/2. For an 8-sided polygon (octagon), substituting n=8 gives 8*(8-3)/2 = 8*5/2 = 20 diagonals. Therefore, the correct answer is option B (20), not D (30).
