The trick to making shapes with a certain number of lines is to allow the shapes to share lines between each other. You also have to make sure that you aren't letting them share too many lines; in fact, to get thirteen lines for squares, you'll need to share three lines (technically called segments in mathematics). One way to do this is to simply draw a rectangle and sketch three lines between it.

Make 2squares and 4 right angle triangle using 8 straight lines?
Using the first four lines, draw a square. Now use the next two lines to bisect the square both horizontally and vertically. You now have one square divided into four smaller squares. Use the last two lines to diagonally bisect two of the four smaller squares. There you go.
How do you move two lines from four squares to make two squares?
impossible u would have to move 4 lines
How do you use only four lines to touch only thirteen dots without overlapping?
you put the thirteen dots parallel to the lines horizontally
What shapes makes squares?
A square can be drawn with four lines.
How can you have four squares and remove two lines and only leave two squares?
you have to draw four squares. all up by each other and then you take out the two middle ones.
How do you move four lines from four squares to make three squares?
Not a clue. The correct answer is to take away a square. Since it requires 4 lines to make a square in the first place. Bam, just take away one of the squares. Pretty simple.
How many lines of symmetry does equilateral have?
If you are talking about a triangle it has two. Squares have four.
Is a squares a rectangle and why?
No because a rectangle is parallel lines and a square is four right angles.
Do squares and pentagons have the same number of lines of symmetry?
A square has four; a pentagon has five.
How many parallel lines does a sguare have?
All squares have two pairs of parallel lines. That's four lines, but they are not all parallel to each other.
How are squares and rectanglest different?
Squares and rectangles are both made with four lines joined at right angles.The difference between a square and a rectangle is:all four lines of the square are exactly the same length as each other.the rectangle has two lines the same that are opposite each other but a different length than the other set of two lines that are also opposite each other.
Show photo how to divide squares into fourths?
Draw diagonal lines to form a diagonal cross in each square, so dividing all the squares into four triangles in each. A pencil and a straightedge is all that is needed, no measuring to form vertical and horizontal lines to divide each square into four smaller squares is required. Can't show a photo or graphics in Answers, I believe.
