Answer:

22 (I think)

Explanation:

The picture is a lil blurry so I'm not sure if I counted the squares right. But basically, you count the squares from one dot to the next. For example, the one on the top that goes in a horizontal line is 6 squares. As for the other two lines, you count from the dot you're starting at and count VERTICALLY until you reach the same line as the point of the triangle. Like with the left side, it starts at point -5, 4 and you'll count how many squares it takes until you reach the same y-axis line as the tip of the triangle. So you should get to -5, -4 for the left side which counts to 8 squares. Same for the other side, also being 8 squares. Then just add it up. 8+8+6=22.
