For the square portion ,
Formula is : Number of diagonals $$\times$$ Number of blocks
So , number of triangles within square is 2Â $$\times$$ 6 = 12
Now , there are two triangular portions remaining.
The one at the bottom , will contribute one more , making total number of triangles 13.
Now, include the upper triangle : It will contribute 3 + 2 =5Â
So , the total number of triangles is 18.
So, the answer would be option c)18.
