A trapezoid contains three triangles, or more depending on how you divide it. Where its longer parallel side is at the bottom, two triangles point up and one points down.

A trapezoid can be divided into multiple triangles depending on how it is dissected. At minimum, a trapezoid will contain two triangles - the larger triangle formed by the longer base and the height of the trapezoid, and the smaller triangle formed by the shorter base and the height. However, additional triangles can be formed by drawing diagonals within the trapezoid, increasing the total number of triangles.

Well, honey, a trapezoid doesn't have any triangles in it. A trapezoid is a four-sided figure with one pair of parallel sides. If you want triangles, you'll have to look elsewhere, darling.
