Answer:
A regular polygon has 20 sides. How many triangles can be drawn by using the vertices, but not using the sides?

The number of all triangles using the vertices and sides is a combination of 20 taking 3 at a time.
20c3=20!/(3! x 17!)=1140……………………………………………….. A
Let us number the sides as 1,2,3…20
Now consider triangles that has one side of the polygon as it’s side.
If we take one side , we can form 18 triangles, so it comes to 360……B .
If we take two sides, we can form 20 triangles.( 1–2,2–3,…….19–20,20–1)…..C
We can not form triangles taking 3 sides of the polygon.
Hence number of trianles that can be formed using only vertices of the 20 sided polygon is
A-B-C= 1140–360–20= 760.
