1 x 1 triangles: 3

1 x 2 triangles: 2

1 x 3 triangles: 1

2 x 1 triangles: 3

2 x 2 triangles: 2

2 x 3 triangles: 1

3 x 1 triangles: 3

3 x 2 triangles: 2

3 x 3 triangles: 1 

 

So the sum is \(\color{brown}\boxed{18}\)

On my first try I got 16. But then I counted the triangles containing the smaller group!
