Counting Triangles and Combinations

The video tutorial explains how to count the number of triangles that can be formed from a set of points, excluding degenerate triangles. It covers the process of forming both non-right and right triangles by dividing the points into groups and using combinations to calculate the possible triangles. The tutorial concludes with a total count of 90 triangles.

What type of triangles are excluded from the count?

• Isosceles triangles

• Equilateral triangles

• Right triangles

• Degenerate triangles

How are the points divided into groups for counting triangles?

• No grouping is done

• Four groups: one for each point

• Three groups: corner, vertical, and horizontal

• Two groups: vertical and horizontal
