Formula

a(n) = floor((1 + sqrt(1+8*n^2))/2). - Ralf Stephan, Jan 30 2014

Example

0, 1, 3, 6 are in interval [0, 9], a(3) = 4.
0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15 are in interval [0, 16], a(4) = 6.

Mathematica

nn = 100; tri = Table[n (n + 1)/2, {n, 0, nn}]; Table[Count[tri, _?(# <= n^2 &)], {n, 0, Sqrt[tri[[-1]]]}] (* T. D. Noe, Mar 11 2013 *)
