Find the number of triangles which can be formed by joining the angular points of a polygon of 8 sides as vertices.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
A
A triangle needs 3 points. And polygon of 8 sides has 8 angular points.
Hence, number of triangle formed,
$$\eqalign{
& { = ^8}{{\text{C}}_3} \cr
& = \frac{{8 \times 7 \times 6}}{{1 \times 2 \times 3}} \cr
& = 56 \cr} $$
