Is this question supposed to have 12 toothpicks to make 4 squares and then move 3 toothpicks to make 3 equal sized squares? Answer depends on the restrictions. Just move 3 sticks from any square to form a straight vertical or horizontal line up of squares is one option if there is no restrictions other than the three resulting squares are equal sizes.

How do you move two lines from four squares to make two squares?
impossible u would have to move 4 lines
What are the differences of squares and rectangles?
Squares have four equal sides and equal angles, rectangles only have two.
Why are some rectangles not squares?
squares are rectangles because they are both four sided but rectangles are not squares because a rectangle doesn't have equal sides and squares have equal sides
Figures with four equal sides and four right angles are called?
squares
What are the differences between squares and rectangles?
All squares are rectangles. A rectangle is a four-sided figure consisting of two sets of parallel lines, and all interior angles are 90 degrees. Squares are rectangles with the added characteristic that all four sides are of equal length. (In both cases all four angles are also the same: 90 degrees.)
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.

Why are some rectangles not squares?
squares are rectangles because they are both four sided but rectangles are not squares because a rectangle doesn't have equal sides and squares have equal sides
Why rectangles can't be squares?
One of the properties of squares is four equal sides. Rectangles don't have equal sides
What shapes makes squares?
A square can be drawn with four lines.
Ways in dividing a square into 4 equal parts?
You could draw in the two diagonals (from corner to opposite corner). You could draw two perpendicular lines to develop four squares inside the existing square. You could draw three parallel lines to develop four equally-sized rectangles within the square.
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 make four squares using thirteen lines?
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.
Are rectangles always squares?
No. Although squares are always rectangles, rectangles are not always squares. A square has four sides of equal length and four right angles. Rectangles must only have four right angles.
