How many triangles in the large triangle?

If you are talking about the common triangle puzzle, then there are 27 triangles. There are 16 one-cell triangles, 7 four-cell triangles, 3 nine-cell triangles, and 1 sixteen-cell triangle. There is a link to the pic for you also. _______________________________________________________________________ The answer in a two dimensional way would be 27. However, if you take into account that each triangle can be turned three ways, then you can understand that there are actually 81 triangles in all. THen you could ask the question, how many triangles can fit in this space (i.e. the picture)? The answer is the first level of infinitely many, or Aleph zero. This would be by finding the midpoint of each side of the all the 1- cell triangles and creating a new triangle.

how many straws do you need for triangle based pyrimid?

There are four triangles in the pyramid. The base triangle that supports the other three counts as THREE straws, one per each of the three sides. But the remaining three triangles also use the base triangle for one of their three sides. That means there are only two additional straws for each of the three remaining triangles. So there are SIX straws total in the three triangles supported by the base one. That's a sum total of NINE (9) unique straws in the pyramid...3 in the base and 2 each in the three supported triangles. ANS.


Use 9 toothpicks to form 3 squares each side of which is a complete toothpick length?

Firstly, take out three toothpicks that form a triangle. You will be left with two triangles. Secondly, place all three toothpicks to form a triangle above the centre of the two triangles. Four small triangles and a large triangle will be formed, which makes them five triangles. Example: At first: /_\/_\/_\ Imagine that these are three triangles (nine toothpicks), with the sides joined. Secondly: /_\/_\ Imagine that you have taken away one triangle (three toothpicks). Thirdly: Place the three toothpicks to form a triangle above the two triangles. Imagine that the sides are joined. Four small triangles are formed. The four triangles make up a large triangle, which makes them five. /_\ /_\/_\
