Triangles

This problem comes in three levels of difficulty. Start with the first and work your way up!

Level 1:

How many noncongruent triangles can be drawn on this 3 by 3 grid by connecting the dots?

3 by 3 dot grid

Example:

triangle on dot grid

NOTE: If you found the previous triangle, and then found this triangle, it would be a rerun and it wouldn't count! (The two triangles are congruent!)
