If the sides and of triangle have 3,5 and 6 interior points respectively, then the total number of triangles that can be constructed using these points as vertices, is equal to:
- (A)360
- (B)333✓ Correct
- (C)364
- (D)240
Answer: (B)
Solution
The three sides carry points in all, giving choices of three points.
A choice fails to give a triangle exactly when its three points lie on one side, and that happens in
ways. The number of triangles is .
