i) one side i.e 2 points of triangle can be selected in n ways. then 3rd point can be selected in (n-4) ways.hence n(n-4)ii) two sides can be chosen in 5C2 waysiii)0

(i) when one side iscommon then the no. of triangle will be n(n-3)

(ii) when two sides common with the polygon then it will be n

(iii) When no side is common with the polygon then it will be total - when one side is common - when two side is common

i.e C(n,3) - n(n-3)-n
