You can count, but there probably is a better solution.

How many distinct triangles can be identified from the figure above?

(Hint: Recall the most basic of the properties of a triangle)


The answer is 35.

Δ A B C \Delta ABC

Δ A B D \Delta ABD

Δ A B E \Delta ABE

Δ A B P \Delta ABP

Δ A B Q \Delta ABQ

Δ A B T \Delta ABT

Δ A C D \Delta ACD

Δ A C E \Delta ACE

Δ A C S \Delta ACS

Δ A D E \Delta ADE

Δ A D Q \Delta ADQ

Δ A E P \Delta AEP

Δ A E S \Delta AES

Δ A E T \Delta AET

Δ A P T \Delta APT

Δ B C D \Delta BCD

Δ B C E \Delta BCE

Δ B C P \Delta BCP

Δ B C Q \Delta BCQ

Δ B C R \Delta BCR

Δ B D E \Delta BDE
