Counting Triangles in Triangles
Combinatorics

Abstract
We give a formula for counting the triangles in a picture consisting of the three sides of a triangle and some cevians. This lets us prove statements that are claimed without proof in the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences and some popular YouTube videos, and also prove some new results. We also give formulas that apply when the cevians cut each side into equal-length pieces.
