We note that a triangle is formed by any two slanting/vertical lines and one horizontal line. The number of ways to choose two slanting/vertical lines from six is ( 6 2 ) \dbinom 62 and that to choose a horizontal line from five is ( 5 1 ) \dbinom 51 . Therefore, the total number of triangles is ( 6 2 ) ( 5 1 ) = 15 × 5 = 75 \dbinom 62 \dbinom 51 = 15 \times 5 = \boxed{75} .
