A delicious triangular shaped chocolate was left open at night. A mouse could smell the yummy chocolate and could not resist but eat some of it. The remaining chocolate is shown below. How many triangles (including partial) have been eaten?
Show Hint
When solving problems like this, carefully observe the pattern and compare the remaining and missing parts. Counting partial elements can help solve the puzzle.
Step 1: Analyzing the chocolate shape.
The chocolate is triangular in shape with smaller triangles making up the whole. The number of smaller triangles is important to determine how many have been eaten. The remaining piece is missing several small triangles. Step 2: Counting the eaten triangles.
By closely examining the pattern and remaining chocolate, we can count the number of missing triangles. The correct number of eaten triangles, including partial ones, is 25. Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (C) as it represents the number of eaten triangles.
