Let $P$ be a non-selfintersecting closed polygon with $n$ sides. Let its vertices be $P_1 , P_2 ,\ldots, P_n .$
Let $m$ other points,$Q_1 , Q_2 ,\ldots, Q_m $ , interior to $P$, be given. Let the figure be triangulated.

segments such that (i) the resulting figure consists exclusively of a set $T$ of triangles, (ii) if two
different triangles in $T$ have more than a vertex in common then they have exactly a side in
common, and (iii) the set of vertices of the triangles in $T$ is precisely the set of the $(n+m)$ points
$P_1 ,\ldots , Q_m.$ How many triangles are in $T$?
