Answer:

25.

Explanation:

I am assuming you only mean the small triangles, not the composite ones.

The second triangle set has 3 triangles on bottom row and 1 on the top - total 4.

The 3rd triangle set has 5 triangles on the bottom , 3 on the next up and 1 on the top - total 9

Following the pattern 4th set will have the number of triaNGLES

7 + 5 + 3 + 1 = 16.

So the 5th will have 9 + 7 + 5 + 3 +1 = 25 triangles.
