They are all paths with 3 points? Or are they each 2 paths?
If the former: apply a fill. Select them all
Object > Live Paint Make
Object > Live Paint > Expand.

So 2 paths make a triangle? Then my suggestion can not work.
Can you please upload a sample file?

The paths are closed in your file. They are filled with white. And then there is a group of strokes that are not closed.

To not have open paths in the result, what you can do is:
first assign only a fill to the paths, no stroke
then create the live paint group
expand live paint
ungroup
assign no fill and a stroke
If you want to clean it up after the live paint, just select one of the open paths and then Select > Same > Stroke color

I've found this old post:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/script-for-closing-the-open-paths-on-illustra...
In the last answer there is a script that closes all the open paths in the current document [CIT].
I'll try it
😄

Good find! You don't even have to select anything for the script to close the paths.
