Counting Notes

The document discusses different methods for counting triangles in various geometric shapes. It provides examples of counting triangles in squares, rectangles, and triangles. There are six different types of counting techniques described: 1) Counting triangles inside squares and rectangles, 2) Counting triangles based on the number of bisects with a vertex, 3) Counting triangles with bisects and horizontal lines, 4) Counting embedded triangles using the formula 4n+1, 5) Counting triangles in a particular pattern using the formula n(n+2)(2n+1)/8, and 6) Counting triangles within 30 seconds using formulas like 3x2+1. A variety of examples are given to illustrate each type of counting technique

Counting

Type-1 : Count number of triangles inside square and Rectangle

Example -1

1 2 5

Number of parts = 4

Number of Diagonals = 2

Total Number of Triangles = 4 x 2 = 8

Example -2

Number of Parts = 8

Number of Diagonals =2

Total Number of Triangles = 8 x 2 = 16

Example -3

Number of parts = 4

Number of Diagonals = 2

Total Number of Triangles = 4 x 2 = 8

Number of parts = 4

Number of Diagonals = 2

Total Number of Triangles = 4 x 2 = 8

Total Number of Triangles = 8+ 8+2 = 18


Example -4

Number of Triangle = 4 x 2 = 8 in each rectangle

Total Number of Triangles = 8 +8+8+4 =28

Type -2 : Counting Triangles with the triangle having number of bisects with vertex

Example -1

Number of Triangles = 3

2×3
1 2 = 1+2 = 3 or number of parts x ( no of parts+1) /2 = 2
=3

Example -2

4×5
1 2 3 4 = 1 +2+3+4= 10 or 2
=10
𝑛( 𝑛+1)
2
= Formula for this type

Example -3

5×6
1 2 3 4 5 = 1 +2+3+4+5 = 15 or 2
= 15
Type – 3 : Counting Triangles with the triangle having number or bisects with vertex and horizontal lines

Number of Triangle = 2

2×2×3
2 Number of Triangle = 2
=6

1 2 +1

3𝑥4𝑥5
1 Number of Triangle = = 30
2

1 2 3 4

3×5×6
1 Number of Triangle = 2
= 45

Type -4 : Counting triangles with in embedded Triangle

Number of Triangle = 5

Formula : 4n+1

n= number of embedded triangles

Number of Triangle = 4x2 + 1 = 8+1=9

Number of Triangle = 4x 3 + 1 = 13

Type-5 : Counting Triangles with in the Particular pattern of Triangle

𝑛 ( 𝑛+2)( 2𝑛+1)
8
,

n= number of triangles inside


3 ( 3+2)( 2𝑥3+1)
Number of Triangles = 8
= 13.125 (take integer number)

= 13
Type – 6 : Number of Triangles ( 30 seconds)

How to calculate , 3x2+1 = 7
