Hint 2 of 2
Touch and count only the triangles in each box, then see which count is biggest.
Show solution
Approach: count only the triangles in each box
- Point to each triangle (three-corner shape) and skip the circles and squares.
- Counting triangles: box A has 1, box B has 4, box C has 1, box D has 3, and box E has 1.
- Box B has the most triangles, so the answer is B.
