So start with an upper case H, and then draw $3$ straight lines. What is the greatest number of closed triangles that you can form? For example:



an example



Note that triangles inside of triangles only count once (e.g. 5 & 6 in the image don't count):
however, triangles inside of other triangles do not count



And you aren't allowed to extend the cross line of the H (e.g. 5 in the image doesn't count)
Example of what's not allowed

            Decrease the angle between three red lines and rotate them ccw slightly. Now two rightmost red lines in the original form will make another triangle with the right pillar of H. According to OP only extending the cross line is not allowed.

            @btw please draw a picture. The two rightmost red lines (the ones that go through the right edge of the picture) already make a triangle with the right pillar of the H, and hopefully you aren't suggesting that three straight lines could somehow make more than one triangle.

            The question says "Note that triangles inside of triangles only count once", which (I think) is a more complicated way of saying "the triangles are not allowed to overlap".

          @btw please draw a picture. The two rightmost red lines (the ones that go through the right edge of the picture) already make a triangle with the right pillar of the H, and hopefully you aren't suggesting that three straight lines could somehow make more than one triangle.
