Abstract
In this paper we deduce the number of representations of a positive integer n by each of the six triangular forms as $${\frac{1}{2}}x_1(x_1+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_2(x_2+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_3(x_3+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_4(x_4+1),\\{\frac{1}{2}}x_1(x_1+1)+{\frac{1}{2}}x_2(x_2+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_3(x_3+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_4(x_4+1),\\{\frac{1}{2}}x_1(x_1+1)+{\frac{1}{2}}x_2(x_2+1)+{\frac{1}{2}}x_3(x_3+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_4(x_4+1),\\x_1(x_1+1)+x_2(x_2+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_3(x_3+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_4(x_4+1),\\x_1(x_1+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_2(x_2+1)+{\frac{3}{2}}x_3(x_3+1)+3x_4(x_4+1),\\{\frac{1}{2}}x_1(x_1+1)+{\frac{1}{2}}x_2(x_2+1)+3x_3(x_3+1)+3x_4(x_4+1).$$
