Determine the count of triangles in the provided image.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The given figure consists of two identical rectangles stacked vertically, each having both of its diagonals drawn.
• Top rectangle: A rectangle divided by both diagonals contains small triangles. Using the standard formula (), the number of triangles = 8.
• Bottom rectangle: Similarly, it is divided into small triangles, so it contains = 8 triangles.
• Combined triangles: Since there are no diagonal lines crossing between the top and bottom rectangles, no additional triangles are formed across the common boundary.
Total count of triangles = .
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) 16.
8 + 8 = 16 Triangles
