When a regular polygon with \( n \) sides is decomposed into triangles using the same vertex, \( n-2 \) triangles are formed. This rule comes from the fact that you can create triangles by connecting the chosen vertex to the other vertices of the polygon. Since there are \( n \) vertices and you are forming triangles with one of them as the common vertex, the number of triangles formed will indeed be \( n - 2 \).
So, the correct response is:
"When a regular polygon is decomposed, \( n - 2 \) triangles are formed, where \( n \) is the number of sides of the regular polygon. There are two fewer triangles than the number of the sides of the regular polygon."
