# Problem Description
This appears to be a problem about calculating a specific sum in a 3x3 matrix, but the complete requirements aren't clear from the function signature alone. The image suggests we need to calculate the sum of elements along a diagonal path marked by arrows in each matrix case.

# Visual Facts
1. Each case shows a 3x3 matrix with integers
2. Each matrix has a diagonal arrow line crossing through it
3. Three example cases are provided with their sums:
   - Case 1: Sum = 15
   - Case 2: Sum = 6
   - Case 3: Sum = 10
4. The diagonal arrows are oriented from top-left to bottom-right
5. The diagonal line passes through exactly 3 cells in each matrix

# Visual Patterns
1. The sum in each case corresponds to the numbers along the diagonal path:
   - Case 1: 1 + 5 + 9 = 15
   - Case 2: 5 + 0 + 1 = 6
   - Case 3: 2 + 1 + 7 = 10

2. The diagonal always follows the pattern:
   - Starts at top-right element (position [0][0])
   - Goes through middle element (position [1][1])
   - Ends at bottom-left element (position [2][2])

3. This is specifically the diagonal pattern, but only these three positions are included in the sum


# Solution
from typing import List

def solution(matrix: List[List[int]]) -> int:
    """
    Calculate the sum of the elements in the matrix.

    Parameters:
        matrix (List[List[int]]): A 3x3 integer matrix.        

    Returns:
        int: The sum of the elements in the matrix.      
    """
    return matrix[0][0] + matrix[1][1] + matrix[2][2]
