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=36for n:[(n+1)n2]2quadrilaterals

We have n = 3, so [(n+1)n2]2=[(3+1)32]2=[432]2=62=36 quadrilaterals
