How many triangles in picture answer
- So, re are 8 lines in picture.
- A triangle has 3 lines, refore equation will be 8 choose 3. That is also written as 8C3 in format of nCr or nCk.
- w answer to 8C3 = 8*7*6/(3*2*1) = 56 but in im, re are 6 lines where 3 lines coincide (6 ways of picking 3 lines removed) and a point where 4 lines coincide (4 ways of picking 3 lines removed, as re are 4 ways of choosing 3 lines among those 4 lines). You need to keep in mind that a triangle cant be me when 3 lines coincide.
- Next, re are two sets of pairs of lines which do t meet. For each pair, choosing two lines of pair and picking any or line will t make a triangle. So 6 ways of choosing 3 lines removed for each pair.
- So if we subtract 6, 4, and 2 from equation n equation will be 8C3 - 6 - 4 - 2*6 that is equal to 56 - 6 - 4 - 12 = 34.
- Hence re are 34 triangles in picture.
