Question

Number of integral coordinates strictly lying inside the triangle formed by the line x+y=21 with coordinate axes are

Open in App
Solution


Triangle formed will have vertices as
O(0,0),A(21,0) and B(0,21)
If x=1, Point on the hypotenuse (1,20)
So, number of integral points lying inside triangle when
x=1 is 19 i.e {(1,1),(1,2)(1,19)}
Similarly,
when x=2, number of integral points lying inside triangle is
18 i.e {(2,1),(2,1)(2,18)}
Total number of integral points lying inside triangle are 19+18+17++1
=19×202=190
