%F By the Euler characteristic, a(n) = A274586(n) - A274585(n) + 1 = A274586(n) - A092866(n) - 3n - 1.

%e a(2)=12 because the 6 line segments mutually connecting the vertices and the mid-side nodes form 12 congruent right triangles of two different sizes.

%e a(3)=75: 48 triangles, 24 quadrilaterals and 3 pentagons are formed. See pictures at Pfoertner link.

%Y Cf. A092866 (number of intersections), A274585 (number of points both inside and on the triangle sides), A274586 (number of edges), A331911 (number of n-gons).

%Y Cf. A092098 (regions in triangle cut by line segments connecting vertices with subdivision points on opposite side), A006533 (regions formed by all diagonals in regular n-gon), A002717 (triangles in triangular matchstick arrangement).

%Y If the boundary points are in general position, we get A367117, A213827, A367118, A367119. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Nov 09 2023
