Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the number of integral points in the triangle formed by the points (0,0), (20,0), and (0,20).

Step 1: Draw the triangle and identify the points. The triangle is a right triangle with the hypotenuse along the line x + y = 20.

Step 2: We need to find the points with integral coordinates. These are points where both the x and y coordinates are integers.

Step 3: Start from point (1,1) and move towards point (19,1), we have 19 such points.

Step 4: Similarly, move towards point (1,19) from point (1,1), we have 19 points.

Step 5: Continue this process, the number of integral points on each line parallel to the base decreases by 1 as we move upwards. So, the total number of points is the sum of the first 19 natural numbers.

Step 6: The sum of the first n natural numbers is given by the formula n*(n+1)/2. So, the sum of the first 19 natural numbers is 19*20/2 = 190.

So, there are 190 points with integral coordinates inside the triangle.
