Infinitely many. Given any triangle, a line from a vertex to any point on the opposite side will give two triangles. That process can continue indefinitely.

Originating from one vertex there are 27 triangles
6 sided and 3 sided shapes respectively
the shape that can make two smaller triangles is parallelogram.

By looking at other polygons with less sides, we can see how many triangles they can fit. In a 4-sided polygon (square), you can fit 2 triangles. In a 5-sided polygon (pentagon), you can fit 3 triangles. In a 6-sided polygon (hexagon), you can fit 4 triangles. In an 8-sided polygon (octagon), you can fit 6 triangles. The pattern here is the number of triangles is equal to the number of sides minus 2. T = N - 2 So... 50 - 2 = 48. 48 triangles can fit into a 50-sided polygon.
Triangles can make various shapes depending on their sides and angles. Some common shapes formed by triangles include equilateral triangles (with three equal sides), isosceles triangles (with two equal sides), scalene triangles (with no equal sides), and right triangles (with one 90-degree angle).
Any quadrilateral such as a 4 sided trapezium can be divided into 2 triangles
They can form into a 4 sided quadrilateral if they are the same size.
