\begin{aligned} \alpha &=\text { Number of triangles } \\ \alpha &=5 \cdot 6 \cdot 7+5 \cdot 7 \cdot 9+5 \cdot 6 \cdot 9+6 \cdot 7 \cdot 9 \\ &=210+315+270+378 \\ &=1173 \\ \beta &=\text { Number of Quadrilateral } \\ \beta &=5 \cdot 6 \cdot 7 \cdot 9=1890 \\ \beta &-\alpha=1890-1173=717 \end{aligned}
