To determine the number of triangles in any given level of the pyramid, we can use the formula:

Number of triangles = (level)^2

Therefore, to find the number of triangles in the first level of the pyramid, we can substitute 1 for level in the formula:

ƒ(1) = (1)^2 = 1

So, there is only 1 triangle in the first level of the pyramid.
