The correct answer is
16

To find the total number of triangles in the given figure, we need to carefully analyze the figure and count all possible triangles formed by intersection of lines. Let's break it down step-by-step:

  1. First, identify all the small triangles in the figure. Count all the smallest triangles visible in the figure.
  2. Next, observe the combination of two or more small triangles forming a larger triangle.
  3. Continue this pattern for combinations of three or more triangles to ensure all possible triangles are counted.

Using this method, the figure can be broken down as follows:

  • Count 8 small individual triangles formed by the intersection of lines within the inner structure.
  • Identify and count the triangles formed by combining two small triangles — this gives us 4 more triangles.
  • Next, count the larger triangles formed by combining three or more of the smaller triangles — this adds another 4 triangles.

Adding them up gives us a total of 16 triangles.

Thus, the correct answer is 16. This ensures we have considered every possible triangle in the configuration.
