Find the number of triangles in the given figure.

8
10
12
14
Answer: Option
Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown.

The simplest triangles are AHG, AIG, AIB, JFE, CJE and CED i.e. 6 in number.

The triangles composed of two components each are ABG, CFE, ACJ and EGI i.e. 4 in number.

The triangles composed of three components each are ACE, AGE and CFD i.e. 3 in number.

There is only one triangle i.e. AHE composed of four components.

Therefore, There are 6 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 14 triangles in the given figure.

@Priyanka.

What are the limitation to apply this formula,

No.of total nodes + 2(no.of inner nodes).

Nice explain thanks.

Suman sharma said:   1 decade ago
What is nodes?

Madhu said:   1 decade ago
Node means point.

Sowmya said:   1 decade ago
What is meant by nodes?

Bhuvanesh said:   1 decade ago
Nodes means intersecting points.

Ali said:   1 decade ago
Can any one explain components again?

Amrish said:   1 decade ago
What is meant by node and antinode and how should we count them?

There is another method to solve this problem:

1. First check the possible Triangle by Assume each node or point as (A,B,C,D,E,F,G,I,J) .

2. Second check the possibility of Joining each node i.e (AHG,ABI,AGI,AGB,AEG).

3. Then check for B and see what possible joining are available i.e(BIA,BGA).

4. Again check for C (CED,CFE,CIE,CFD) D (DEC,DFC) E (ECJ,ECF) F(FJE,FCE,FCD) G (GAE,GAI,GAB,GAH) H(HAG,HAE).

5. NOW Combine all Elements.
AHG,ABI,AGI,AGB,AEG,BIA,BGA,CED,CFE,CIE,CFD,DEC,DFC,ECJ,ECF,FJE,FCE,FCD,GAE,GAI,GAB,GAH,HAG,HAE

6. Now Eliminate same letter (AHG -> HAG)i.e remove HAG.

7. If you eliminate you will get,(AHG,ABI,AGI,AGB,AEG,BGA,CED,CFE,CIE,CFD,DFC,ECJ,FJE,HAS).

TOTALLY 14 letter are remaining..

Hope you all Understand :).

Is there any process through which we can find it easily.
