Answer:

9841

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time the number of shaded triangles is multiplied by 3.  So this is a geometric series:

an = 1 (3)ⁿ⁻¹

The sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is:

S = a₁ (1 - rⁿ) / (1 - r)

Here, a₁ = 1, r = 3, and n = 9.

S = 1 (1 - 3⁹) / (1 - 3)

S = 9841
