**a. Number of diagonals from one vertex**

A vertex in an $$ n $$-sided polygon can be connected to all other vertices except itself and its two adjacent vertices. For a decagon ($$ n=10 $$):

$$
\text{Number of diagonals} = n - 3 = 10 - 3 = 7
$$

**b. Number of triangles formed by the diagonal from one vertex**

When all diagonals are drawn from one vertex in a polygon, they divide the polygon into triangles. The number of triangles formed is always:

$$
\text{Number of triangles} = n - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8
$$

**c. Sum of interior angles of the decagon**

The formula for the sum of the interior angles of an $$ n $$-sided polygon is:

$$
\text{Sum of interior angles} = (n - 2) \times 180^\circ
$$

For a decagon:

$$
\text{Sum} = (10 - 2) \times 180^\circ = 8 \times 180^\circ = 1440^\circ
$$
**a. Number of diagonals from one vertex:** 7 **b. Number of triangles formed by the diagonal from one vertex:** 8 **c. Sum of interior angles of the decagon:** 1440 degrees
