Last time I checked, a triangle was still roughly described as:
“A 3 sided shape (3 corners) in which the sum of all internal angles = 180 Deg and the sum of all external angles = 360 Deg.”
So unless my eyes are playing tricks on me there are 8 triangles in the pic. I cant understand how some ppl are finding more than 8 if a triangle has to have 3 (and only 3) sides.
Please enlighten me as to how I can find more than 8 in the pic.
There was someone who complained that “Triangles with lines going through them are not triangles”. I’m afraid you’re wrong. A shape with 3 sides is a triangle regardless of the pattern or lines on the inside. The standard answer would be that there are 8 triangles. The 7 at the bottom and the entire shape itself, however each of the bottom 7 triangles can be added to each other to make slightly bigger triangles. Then if you realise that the bottom line of the big triangle connected to all of the intersections make triangles too which can then be added to each other… there are lots lots lots lots (as the trolls would put it).

From South Africa the answer is 64
im no genius but i count 8
Its way more than 8!!!
I counted 8 but I think there are more some way or another
no i change my mind there are 20
There is only one triangle.
i count 52, might have missed some.
There’s 8 and you have to believe me cause I’m Albert Einstein.
64.
yea i counted 64
pretty sure its 68 could be more
I found 64. hmm.
i am a genius there are 8
i counted 39… or maybe 40 im not counting again!
I counted 10 triangles
i counted 30 i have no idea were i got dat xxx <3
no chance 64 theres about 21 dur brains
76
13
I counted 58 but i belive that there is more triangles.
theres 1 triangle
nevermind theres 3 if u can see it
11…
So what is the right answer?

I can see what ppl mean by there being another 2 at the bottom, but im not fully convinced as they are interupted by other lines.
i say 8
i count 8
the solution is here:

(64)
i think theres about 30/40 i keep losing track ! <333 xxxx
12??
21
67;D

64 is the correct answer.
8 because other dont have 3 sides 0-0
we think there are at least 74 triangles. we know this for a fact because we’re brilliant and we worked this out with the teacher. <3<3
oops typo! we mean 64
there are 16 traingles

ok, i got 16 triangles ^_^
anybody get the same??
i got 343 triangles
(n+1)^3 n=number of lines in the triangle (6)
(6+1)^3
(7)^3
7x7x7
343
ok, i got 16 triangles ^_^
anybody get the same??
sorry
sent the answer twice by mistake
lol
4+9+9+20+20=62
68
I get 72 triangels
I got 72 triangles
I got 28?
oops i got 62 now…. i prabably missed 2 so i would say 64, acording to the number of combinations and mathimatical thinking, 64 should be right!
my comment there are 15 triangles and im from england
58 but I’ll try to count them again, hahaha…
