Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:If you choose any 3 of the 7 vertices, you can connect them with lines to create a unique triangle.

So, the question becomes "In how many different ways can we select 3 vertices from 7 vertices?"

Since the order in which we select the 3 vertices does not matter, we can use COMBINATIONS.

We can select 3 vertices from 7 vertices in 7C3 ways.
