How many triangles are there in the given figure?
Correct Answer :
13
Solution :
The correct answer is 13.
To find the total number of triangles in the given figure, we can systematically count them region by region:
1. Small top-left overlapping square structure:
- Looking at the top-left square that has an inscribed diamond/rotated square, the corners form 4 small triangles.
- The square inside that overlaps with the main grid corner also has diagonal lines forming triangles.
- Counting the distinct individual small triangular regions in this top-left region yields 6 triangles.
2. Upper-middle section:
- There is a V-shaped branch/slanting lines near the top border attached to a vertical line, forming 2 triangles.
3. Right side section:
- On the upper-right area within the outer square, diagonal lines cut across forming 2 triangles.
4. Bottom-left corner section:
- At the very bottom-left corner of the main square, a single slanting line cuts the corner to form 1 triangle.
5. Center-bottom section:
- In the lower central grid area, a diagonal line divides a small square section, contributing 2 triangles.
Total Count:
Adding all the individual triangular regions together:
Thus, there are a total of 13 triangles in the given figure.
