  Sure, it’s a pencil. You can make 100 triangles if you like. :-)

  Okay, starting with the left most triangle. Rotate the upper right side pencil around it’s eraser so that the sharpened end bisects the horizontal lower pencil and you end up with the number ‘4’. You will then end up with ‘4’ triangles.
