The words are Latin based, and the words tell us a lot about what the figures are. Triangles literally means "three angles" and there are indeed three angles in a triangle. A quadralateral means "four equal sides" and polygon means "many sides figure". So the many sided figure that has four equal sides might be a parallelogram, it might be a square, or a rectangle. The polygon merely says it's a shape. Get the picture? These are actually word pictures.

How many triangles in a quadrilateral?
Infinitely many. Any triangle inside a quadrilateral can be divided into two without affecting the quadrilateral but increasing the number of triangles by 1. And then one of those triangles could be spilt into two and so on - without end.
