The no. of triangles can be obtained by applying any of the two formulas mentioned below:
METHOD 1:
n(∆) =(floor(n x (n+2) x (2n+1))/8)
n(∆) = floor(111 X 113 X 223)/8
n(∆) = floor(2797089)/8
n(∆) = floor(349636.125)
n(∆) = 349636
If you are not familiar with floor function then for your information; floor function in maths is the largest integer less than or equal to the input.
METHOD 2:
If n is even, c n = 8 1 n ( n + 2 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) .
If n is odd, c n = 8 1 [ n ( n + 2 ) ( 2 n + 1 ) − 1 ]
