Best Answer

Triangular numbers enumerate the items that can be arranged in a triangle. For example, ten blowling pins (10 is 4 triangled) and fifteen Bowling pins (15 is 5 triangled).

Applications might include counting band members in a triangle formation, or napkins in a triangle pattern at a wedding.
