Label them like I have them here.



I think there are 5 triangles ABF, ABG, ACD, what are the other two?
One quadrilateral is BCDG, are there more? (Don't forget the big rectangle!)
One pentagon is ABGDE, it has a "sunk in" place at G, making it a concave 
pentagon.  Are there others?
One hexagon is ACDEFG. Are there others?
Happy counting!
