Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Counting by groups:

  • Basic triangles: 4 inside the rectangle, 1 at the top-left, and 1 at the right = 6.

  • Combined triangles: 4 larger triangles formed inside the rectangle by combining adjacent small triangles, plus 2 larger side triangles = 6.

  • Outer triangle: The complete boundary triangle = 1.

Total: 6 + 6 + 1 = 13
