How Many Triangles?

... now, please show us.

Count those that have the bottom edge and the 2 other edges are equal (4)
Now we'll count those on left side and then multiply it by 2, (to cover those on right as well)
To count those on left, you can count those that their right edge is lowest line that comes from right, and then multiply it by 4.
They are:
3 small ones + 2 made of two small triangle + 1 made of 3 triangles + 3 that have bottom line (9)

Weird... it results in 76... I should've made a mistake in calculation last time

But I may have missed some...

Only focusing on one side for a second:

Taking the line from bottomright to bottomleft, the lowest line on the left goes across to meet the line bottomright<->top. Using the lines that leave the bottomright point you can make 4 triangles that use that point.
Taking the point that intersects the lowest line from bottomright with the lowest line bottomleft, you can use the other lines bottomright<->top to make 3 triangles that use that point. (remembering that it is one less because there is one fewer line (the bottom one) being used)
Follow this for the other two points that intersect with the lowest line from bottomleft and you can make 2 triangles and then 1 triangle.

4+3+2+1=10

That can be done with each of the (4) lines leaving bottomleft point so you have 4x10=40 and that can be doubled by mirroring it on the other side so 2x40=80

At least I think that's right

You are counting those at center twice so it's 4 more

What can I say? I don't like being wrong

did you think of them as dimensions or did you count ?

ren wrote: that's what i call dimensions. I looked at it in a sort of distorted 3d space. Like a non-cubic 4x4x4 cube of sorts

Ahh. That makes sense!
