Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

From a given vertex, two of the vertices are adjacent, so a "diagonal" to those will not form a triangle. The number of diagonals that can be drawn is 3 fewer than the number of sides. The number of triangles is 1 more than the number of diagonals.

For a 5-sided figure, 2 diagonals can be drawn from a common vertex.

  3 triangles will be formed.
