Count the number of triangles in the given figure.

Let's count the triangles systematically by breaking down the layers of the figure:
1. Innermost Square with Diagonals:
A standard square divided by two intersecting diagonals contains:
* 4 small individual triangles (formed by the intersection of diagonals inside the quadrant zones).
* 4 larger triangles formed by combining two adjacent small triangles along the main diagonal division lines.
* Total in the innermost square = $4+4=8$ triangles.

2. Intermediate Tilted Square Layer:
The boundaries of the innermost square and the surrounding rotated square (diamond shape) create:
* 4 medium triangles located at the outer corners/edges of the inner square.

3. Outer Square Boundary Layer:
The intermediate tilted square meets the outer square bounding frame to form:
* 4 additional triangles at the external corners of the overall figure.

Adding all these independent sections together:

$$\text{Total number of triangles}=8+4+4=16$$
