First vertex of a triangle can be  chosen in n ways in a regular n-gon.  The second vertex can be chosen in  n−1 ways. The third vertex can be   chosen in n−2 ways.  So a triangle can be drawn in  n(n−1)(n−2) ways.  Or  n(n−1)(n−2) triangles can be  made from the vetices of n-gon.

$${First}\:{vertex}\:{of}\:{a}\:{triangle}\:{can}\:{be} \\ $$$${chosen}\:{in}\:{n}\:{ways}\:{in}\:{a}\:{regular}\:{n}-{gon}. \\ $$$${The}\:{second}\:{vertex}\:{can}\:{be}\:{chosen}\:{in} \\ $$$${n}−\mathrm{1}\:{ways}.\:{The}\:{third}\:{vertex}\:{can}\:{be}\: \\ $$$${chosen}\:{in}\:{n}−\mathrm{2}\:{ways}. \\ $$$${So}\:{a}\:{triangle}\:{can}\:{be}\:{drawn}\:{in} \\ $$$${n}\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({n}−\mathrm{2}\right)\:{ways}. \\ $$$${Or}\:\:{n}\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)\left({n}−\mathrm{2}\right)\:{triangles}\:{can}\:{be} \\ $$$${made}\:{from}\:{the}\:{vetices}\:{of}\:{n}-{gon}. \\ $$
