62First find the number of those triangles which have exactly one side common:
it is equal to chose a side.. and then chose a vertex from the remaining 8 vertices so taht you dont chose the adjecent vertices...
this is equal to 10x(8-2) = 60
also there are some triangles with 2 common sides .. this number equals to 10?
Total no of triangles that can be formed is 10C3 = 240
Removing 10 we get... 230..
For no common side remove 60 more.. you get 170
