There are (8) points, no (3) of which are collinear. How many triangles can be formed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 56

To form a triangle, choose any 3 of the 8 points. Since no 3 points are collinear, every such selection forms a triangle. Therefore, the number of triangles is \(\binom{8}{3}=\frac{8\times7\times6}{3\times2\times1}=56\). The option 112 may result from incorrectly counting arrangements, but the order of selecting points does not matter. Exam tip: Use combinations \(\binom{n}{r}\) when the order of selection is irrelevant.
