Question

How many triangles are there?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

starting with the "top floor" :

3 single small triangles.

then the left 2 combined and the right 2 combined.

and then all 3 combined.

that is 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 triangles.

now we extend the triangles from the top floor to the next floor below.

we have the same number of triangles, they are just longer.

6 triangles there.

and we extend the triangles to the next floor below.

we have again the same number of triangles, they are just even longer.

6 triangles there.

and we extend the triangles to the next (and last) floor below.

we have again the same number of triangles, they are just very long.

6 triangles there.

that makes for the 4 floors

6×4 = 24 triangles.
