Counting the Triangles (solution)


There are seven groups of triangles shown in the diagrams above. Each group consists of exactly five triangles with every triangle rotated 72 degrees around the center of the pentagon; one triangle from every group is highlighted in the respective diagram. So the total number of the triangles in the pentagon is 7x5=35.
