Count total available points
The triangle has interior points on its sides:
- On : interior points
- On : interior points
- On : interior points
Including the three vertices , the total number of points on the boundary is
-
Count all possible triangles from these 17 points
Any triangle is formed by choosing any non-collinear points.
First, total ways to choose any points:
-
Subtract collinear triples
The only collinear sets of points lie on the sides , , and .
-
On side , total points on the line are the interior points plus endpoints : Collinear triples on :
-
On side , total points are so collinear triples:
-
On side , total points are so collinear triples:
Total collinear triples:
-
-
Required number of triangles
-
Check against options
The computed answer is , which is not present in the given options.
-
Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer is C: 333, but our correct combinatorial count is .
Hence, the stored answer appears to be incorrect.
