Start with a 2x2 square (that uses 8 toothpicks) Use the other two to make a 1x1 square in one of the corners of the big one..

How do you make 5 squares out of twelve toothpicks?

You arrange 12 toothpicks into a large square, subdivided into four squares : 2 toothpicks on each side and four more, one each from the middle of the sides to the center of the large square. Now you have four (small) squares. Take away 2 adjacent toothpicks from the ones in the center, and you have 2 squares : one remaining small one and the large one that has the small one inside it.

How can you make 10 out of 9 toothpicks without breaking any of them?

You make the number "10" with the 9 toothpicks or spell out "ten" with the 9 toothpicks.


How do you make 10 toothpicks out 9 toothpicks without breaking them?

To solve this, you simply have to put the toothpicks in the shape of a 1 and a 0 to make "10"


How do you use 10 toothpicks to form 3 congruent squares?

Can you make 5 triangles with 10 toothpicks?

Yes, you can make 5 triangles with 10 toothpicks by sharing sides among the triangles. For example, you can create a structure where some triangles share edges, allowing you to use fewer toothpicks than the total number of sides. By arranging them strategically, you can achieve the desired number of triangles using the available toothpicks.


How do you use 10 toothpicks to make 3 congruent squares?

Since every square has 4 sides and you only have 10 toothpicks, obviously you can't have the squares be separate. You will need exactly 2 toothpicks to overlap. Once you realize that, there are two shapes that are possible and can be rotated to make a total of 6 different solutions. A straight line (vertical or horizontal): = = = | | | | = = = Or an L-shape (forwards, backwards, and upside-down forwards and backwards): = | | = = | | | = = Sorry that these don't look quite right, the formatting is getting screwed up.

How to make 1 to 10 squares in qbasic?

In QBASIC, you can create squares from 1 to 10 by using a loop and the LINE statement. Here's a simple example: FOR i = 1 TO 10 LINE (10, 10 * i)-(10 + i * 10, 10 * i + i * 10), , B NEXT i This code will draw squares of increasing size, starting from 1x1 to 10x10, with their bottom-left corners positioned vertically. Adjust the coordinates in the LINE statement to position the squares as needed.

If i have 12 matches how do i move them to make 3 equal squares?

A sort of triangle of squares. Lay out 3 squares side by side using 10 matches. Take the middle match from the bottom row and use it and the other two to make a square based on the middle match of the top row.
