(A) 6
(B) 10
(C) 11
(D) 12
12 triangles are there in the following figure. According to the picture, you can count the number of triangles in drawn in the triangle.
Number of Small triangles = 5
Triangle having two Small Triangles = 4
Triangle having three Small Triangles = 2
Number of large triangles = 1
So the total triangles = 12
Therefore, the correct answer is 12.
Below, we have mentioned some vital information about the triangle.

Features of a Triangle
A plane figure with three straight sides and three angles, it is known as Triangle. Below, we have mentioned the features of a Triangle.
- Three angles and three sides make up a triangle.
- A triangle’s total angles are always 180 degrees.
- A triangle’s outside angles are always a sum of 360 degrees.
- The total of the parallel exterior and interior angles is additional.
- Any two sides of a triangle can be added together to have a length larger than the third side. In the same way, any two triangle sides have length differences between them that are smaller than the length of the third side.
- Always, the shortest side faces the smallest interior angle. Similar to this, the biggest interior angle is always opposite the longest side.
Summary:
How Many Triangles are There in the following figure? (A) 6 (B) 10 (C) 11 (D) 12
In the image given, there are 12 triangles. The number of small triangles in the figure is 5. There are four triangles that have 2 small triangles. The number of large triangles is 1. Hence the total number of triangles is 12.
