Probability Level pending

If the figure in the left is named figure 0. The one in the middle is named figure 1 and the one in the right is named figure 2, find the number of triangles in the 201 6 th 2016^{\text{th}} figure that follows this pattern.


The answer is 2743384227.

In figure 0, there are 3 3 triangles.
In figure 1, there are 12 12 triangles.
In figure 2, there are 29 29 triangles.
In figure 3, there are 56 56 triangles.
(For clarification):-
In figure 4, there are 95 95 triangles.
In figure 5, there are 148 148 triangles.


We see that in the n th n^{\text{th}} figure, there are i = 0 n ( i 2 + 5 i + 3 ) \displaystyle \sum_{i=0}^{n} (i^2 + 5i + 3)

So, in the 201 6 th 2016^{\text{th}} figure, there would be:-
n = 0 2016 ( n 2 + 5 n + 3 ) \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{2016} (n^2 + 5n + 3)
= 2743384227 quadrilaterals. _\square

is it original?

All my combinatorics questions are original. Those who dont believe can investigate :P

Answer.
= (n+1)[(n+2)(n+3)/3 + (n+1)].
= 2017[2018*2019/3+2017].
= 2743384227
