Answer:

44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Avi used 11 toothpicks to form a row of 5 attached triangles.

Total number of toothpicks used = 89

Let the total number of triangles formed be represented by x, so that:

11 toothpicks = 5 triangles

It would be observed that only the first triangle starting the pattern has 3 toothpicks. So that;

the average number of toothpicks for 1 triangle = \frac{11}{5}

                                  = 2.2

The number of toothpicks per triangle = 2.0

Thus,

x = \frac{89}{2.0}

  = 44.5

x = 44

The total number of triangles formed is 44.
