A331451
Triangle read by rows: Take an n-sided polygon (n>=3) with all diagonals drawn, as in A007678. Then T(n,k) = number of k-sided polygons in that figure for k = 3, 4, ..., n.

FORMULA
By counting edges in two ways, we have the identity Sum_k k*T(n,k) + n = 2*A135565(n). E.g. for n=7, 3*35+4*7+5*7+6*0+7*1+7 = 182 = 2*A135565(7).
EXAMPLE
A hexagon with all diagonals drawn contains 18 triangles, 6 quadrilaterals, and no pentagons or hexagons, so row 6 is [18, 6, 0, 0].
Triangle begins:
1,
4,0,
10,0,1,
18,6,0,0,
35,7,7,0,1,
56,24,0,0,0,0,
90,36,18,9,0,0,1,
120,...
The row sums are A007678, the first column is A062361.
CROSSREFS
See A331450 for a version of this triangle in which trailing zeros in the rows have been omitted.
