How many triangles are formed when you draw all the possible diagonals from just one vertex of a 35-gon? CAN'T COPY THE FIGURE $$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline \text { Number of sides } & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & \dots & n & \dots & 35 \\\hline \text { Number of triangles formed } & & & & & \dots & & \dots & \\ \hline\end{array}$$
