Using Pick Theorem:: $\displaystyle A = i+\frac{b}{2}-1$
Where $A$ is Area of $\triangle$ formed by the points $(0,0),(21,0),(0,21)$
So $\displaystyle A = \frac{1}{2}\times 21 \times 21 = \frac{441}{2}$ and $i=$ Interior ordered pair within a $\triangle.$
and $b = $Boundry points, Which is equal to $ = 21+21+20+1 = 63$
Here $21$ points along $X$ axis and $21$ points along $Y$ axis and $20$ points
on boundry and $1$ point is origin.
So Put into formula, We get $\displaystyle \frac{441}{2} = i+\left(\frac{63}{2}\right)-1$
So we get $i = 190$ Integer ordered pairs which lie exactly interior of $\triangle $
Hint.
This is an isocele rectangle triangle. So it is easy to find the number of points of the associated square. Namely $22 \times 22 =484$ points.
Then you have to substract the points that are on the boundaries of the square, namely $2(22+20)=84$ points. And also the ones lying in the interior of the diagonal, that is additional $20$ points. Remains $380$ points.
Divided by two for the triangle $190$ points.
