On the top row, there is one (small equilateral) triangle, and on the second row there are two (small equilateral) triangles, and so on, so on the Nth row, there are N (small equilateral) triangles.
Therefore, in total, the largest triangle (with N rows) contains the nth triangular number of triangles, so it contains N/2(N+1) triangles.
Each (small) triangle requires three lolly sticks, so in total, we use 3N(N+1)/2 triangles.
