Ans.800 Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
Of these, there are 20 triangles with two side lengths on the perimeter of the regular polygon. Also, for each side, there are 16 points that can make a triangle with exactly one side length on the 20-gon. This makes triangles we have to subtract, since one of the side lengths is on the 20-gon.
