In triangle $ ABC$, internal bisector of angle $ A$ intersects with $ BC$ at $ D$. Let $ E$ be a point on $ \left[CB\right.$ such that $ \left|DE\right|\equal{}\left|DB\right|\plus{}\left|BE\right|$.

If $ \left|BE\right|\equal{}\left|AC\right|\equal{}7$, $ \left|AD\right|\equal{}2\sqrt{7}$ and $ \left|AB\right|\equal{}5$, then $ \left|BF\right|$ is

For an olympiad geometry problem, Tina wants to draw an acute triangle whose angles each measure a multiple of $10^{\circ}$. She doesn't want her triangle to have any special properties, so none of the angles can measure $30^{\circ}$ or $60^{\circ}$, and the triangle should definitely not be isosceles.
How many different triangles can Tina draw? (Similar triangles are considered the same.)
