Best Answer

Triangluar numbers or triangle numbers are numbers formed from the summation of all the numbers smaller than them. The first few triangle numbers are 1,3,6,10,15,21... If you think of a pyramid with a base of two blocks, and one on top, there are three blocks. If you add a base of three to that pyramid, you have six blocks. Then ten, and fifteen and so on. That is why they are called Triangle numbers.
