Fuor toothpicks from 16 leave 12 which, by coincidence (?) is exactly enough for four equilateral triangles!

How many triangles in a 16 sided polygon?
14
How many triangles are in a 32 side polygon?
A 32 sided polygon is also called a triacontadigon (or triacontakaidigon) or 32-gon has 20 triangles and 12 pentagons.
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.
Two triangle are similar and the ratio of the corresponding sides is 4 3 What is the ratio of their areas?
area of triangle 1 would be 16 and the other triangle is 9 as the ratio of areas of triangles is the square of their similar sides
The legs of a right triangle are 12 and 16 inches long respectively What is the area of the triangle?
Lets work it out:- If the legs are 12 and 16 inches, then a rectangle of that size would be 192 square inches in area. As the the diagonal of the rectangle makes two equal triangles (of legs 12 and 16 inches), the area of one of these is half the area of the triangle - 192/2 = 96 square inches.
The length and width of a rectangle are 8 inches and 4 inches respectively What would be the area of one of the triangles formed from drawing a diagonal in the rectangle?
A=l*w A=8*4 A=32 diagonal cuts the rectangle into two congruent triangles. 32/2 = 16
How many triangles are in a triangle?
it have 16 triangles in a triangleOnly one.
How do you fit sixteen right triangles into 1 big triangle?
On the contrary, it is quite possible to fix sixteen right triangles into one big triangle. In fact, all the triangles can be isosceles and congruent. Place one triangle in a "row." Then, place three triangles in a row lower than the first one, creating a trapezoid. Repeat with rows of five and seven triangles. This works because 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 4^2 = 16.
If you have 8 small triangles made of 16 lines how can you make four small triangles if it is a parallelogram?
If you have 8 small triangles made of 16 lines how can you make four small triangles if it is a parallelogram?
How many triangles in 8 sided polygon?
There are 6 triangles
How many triangles does a hexadecagon?
A 16 sided polygon is made from 14 triangles
How many triangles in a triangle made up of 16 small triangles?
27, but you will have to prove it.
How many triangles does a 2520 degree polygon have?
It has 16 sides and contains 14 triangles
What is the ratio of squares to triangles?
1:2
Triangle puzzle - how many triangles?
27 triangles. There are 16 one-cell triangles, 7 four-cell triangles, 3 nine-cell triangles, and 1 sixteen-cell triangle.
How many triangles can be drawn from 6 points where 4 of them are in straight line?
There are 16 possible triangles.
If you have 8 small triangles made of 16 lines how can you make four small triangles?
If you draw a single square, and then put one X through it, you have 4 triangles. Put another X through it and you have 8. Now, if you want to make four triangles, simply remove the two diagonal lines in the center, and it will create four triangles. Now, since they're separated by the other triangles, it would mean removing four lines, but that is still your answer.
