I have the answers. Tell me when you give up. Then I will tell you the answers.

How many triangles and quadrilaterals are in this diagram?
There is a pattern for the triangles:
if n the number of the lines in the triangle on every side, then the number of triangles is (n+1)3
We have n = 3, so (n+1)3=(3+1)3=43=64 triangles.
I assume the pattern for the quadrilaterals is:
n=0:(0)2=0n=1:(0+1)2=12=1n=2:(0+1+2)2=32=9n=3:(0+1+2+3)2=62=36…for n:[(n+1)⋅n2]2quadrilaterals
We have n = 3, so [(n+1)⋅n2]2=[(3+1)⋅32]2=[4⋅32]2=62=36 quadrilaterals
