Answer» LET the vertices of the PENTAGON be A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5. One triangle is formed by selecting a GROUP of 3 points from the 5 given vertices. ⇒ Number of triangles = Number of groups of 3 each from 5 points ⇒ 5C3 = 5!/{(5 - 3)! × 3!} = 10 ∴ The number of triangles that can be formed by JOINING the vertices of a pentagon = 10 |
