I got 28. Is there more?

Draw an 8-by-9-by-12 box ABCDEFGH. How many right triangles can be formed by

connecting three of the eight vertices?

I believe the answer is 48.

At each of the 12 corner points 6 right triangles can be formed.

Yep, there are 12 EDGES, not vertices.

My bad! Should be 8 x 6 = 48 not 12 x 6 = 48.
