Looking at the worksheet titled “Can you build a triangle?”, we need to count how many of each shape appears inside the two large triangles shown.

There are two big triangles made up of smaller shapes:

1. The top large triangle is built from:
- 1 yellow hexagon (6-sided)
- 3 red trapezoids (4-sided, with one pair of parallel sides — looks like a triangle with the top cut off)
- 3 green small triangles

2. The bottom large triangle is built from:
- 9 blue small triangles
- 3 green small triangles

Now, let’s count each shape type across BOTH large triangles:

→ Hexagons: Only 1 (the yellow one in the top triangle)
→ Trapezoids: Only 3 (all red, in the top triangle)
→ Small triangles:
- Top triangle has 3 green ones
- Bottom triangle has 9 blue + 3 green = 12 small triangles
→ Total small triangles = 3 + 12 = 15

So, final counts:
- Hexagon: 1
- Trapezoid: 3
- Triangle: 15

Final Answer:
Hexagon: 1, Trapezoid: 3, Triangle: 15
