8 points are marked on the circumference of a circle at equal distances. How many squares can be drawn by joining them? $\begin{array}{lllll}\text { (a) }{ }^{8} \mathrm{P}_{4} & \text { (b) }{ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{4} & \text { (c) } \frac{{ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{4}}{2} & \text { (d) } 2\end{array}$
Suppose there are eight points on a circle, equally spaced. a) How many triangles are there that have their vertices among these points? b)How many of these are right triangles?
