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

If you use Toothpicks to make four squares move only two so that two squares remain and a toothpick must be a part of a square?
Old one. Make a square out of four squares, then remove two adjacent inside toothpicks. This leaves a large square with a small square inside.
How many toothpicks would you need to make the word hat without breaking them?
If you get a bit creative, you will be able to make the word HAT using 5 toothpicks. If you make the 'H' skinny using 3TP and have the horizontal TP extend out towards the right. Then use 1TP to lay at an angle connecting to the second leg of the 'H' and crossing the horizontal TP leaving a bit extended to form the 'A'. The use 1TP to connect to the extended horizontal toothpick to form the 'T". 3 +1 +1 = 5 toothpicks to make the word HAT. However, if you want to do it the simple way, you'll need 8.
What does CPCTC represent and when would you use it?
CPCTC represents Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent. You would use this in Triangle Proofs.
How can you use SSS with CPCTC?
You can prove that to triangles are congruent with SSS, then use CPCTC to prove that two corresponding angles of those triangles are congruent.
What is a tetromino?
A Tetromino is a shape made of combinations of squares. You use 4 squares to make a Teromino. Its like a domino but using 3 squares instead of 2! There are 19 combinations of Terominoes if you count the rotated and reflected ones. Hope this helps you with your homework year eights!! xx

How do you make 2 squares using 10 toothpicks?
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 do you arrange to 12 toothpicks into 6 identical squares?
Use them to form the edges of a cube.
How do you make an earthquake safe building out of toothpicks and marshmallows?
Try using lots of triangles and pyramids, because they are a lot sturdier and stronger than squares and pentagons and hexagons etc. But if you HAVE to use squares, then reinforce the corners by building triangles into them.
How many toothpicks do you have to use to make a toothpick bridge?

How do you build a structure out of toothpicks and marshmallow?
Well you could make the structure by taking the marshmallow and shaping it into triangles and then connect it together so it looks like a bridge and then if that does not work then try building squares and then putting triangles in the middle and then getting some toothpicks to connect it. Questions Is there a limited amount of marshmallows or toothpicks you are supposed to use? Is the structure supposed to hold something? Like a text book, a book, or ect.
