Two squares are having 1 line common, so a total of 7 lines form the two squares.
There are two big triangles above the squares having 1 line common that adds up to 5 lines.
There is 1 line in between the triangles, which is common to the small square.
At last, there are two triangles from the small square. that makes 4 lines
7 + 5 + 1 + 4 = 17.
