How do you make five triangles with ten toothpicks?

You can make 5 triangles out of 9 toothpicks. With 6 toothpicks, make a large triangle with 2 toothpicks for each side. Now, take individual toothpicks, and make a smaller triangle inside the larger one by joining the midpoints of the sides of the previous triangle. (The vertices of the smaller triangle are the midpoints of the sides of the larger one).


Can you make 2 exact triangles using exactly 9 toothpicks?

If one of the nine toothpicks is the common base of the two congruent isosceles triangles with sides formed by two toothpicks.


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 can you take 9 toothpicks and make ten without breaking the toothpicks?

Arrange the 9 toothpicks thus: 7 + 3


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"


Use 9 toothpicks to form 3 squares each side of which is a complete toothpick length?

Firstly, take out three toothpicks that form a triangle. You will be left with two triangles. Secondly, place all three toothpicks to form a triangle above the centre of the two triangles. Four small triangles and a large triangle will be formed, which makes them five triangles. Example: At first: /_\/_\/_\ Imagine that these are three triangles (nine toothpicks), with the sides joined. Secondly: /_\/_\ Imagine that you have taken away one triangle (three toothpicks). Thirdly: Place the three toothpicks to form a triangle above the two triangles. Imagine that the sides are joined. Four small triangles are formed. The four triangles make up a large triangle, which makes them five. /_\ /_\/_\


How do you use 9 toothpicks to form 5 triangles?

Make a triangle, each of whose sides is 2 matchsticks long. This uses six matchsticks. Join the middle points of the sides of this triangle to one another - using another three match sticks. You will then have four small triangles and one large one.


Can 9 toothpicks s be used to form 4 congruent triangles?

Yes. Make one triangle using hree matches. Underneath the two vertices at the base of this triangle, make another two triangles, using six more matches. You will find that there is an inverted triangle in the middle - the fourth.


What level will use 24 toothpicks if you continue a design made to form triangles First level uses 3 Second level uses 6 Third level uses 9 toothpicks etc?

There is a pattern here: Level 1 uses 3 = 3 × 1 toothpicks Level 2 uses 6 = 3 × 2 toothpicks Level 3 uses 9 = 3 × 3 toothpicks So it looks like each level uses 3 times the level number of toothpicks. ı→ 3 × level = 24 → level = 24 ÷ 3 = 8 So Level 8 uses 24 toothpicks.


How do you make 9 rectangles with only 6 popsicle sticks?

How do you make 5 triangles with 9 line?

I get 9 triangle with fewer than 9 lines. Draw a square: ABCD (4 lines) Draw the diagonals AC, BD (2 lines) which meet at X in the centre. On a separate part of the page, draw triangle PQR (3 lines). That is 4 + 2 + 3 = 9 lines. The triangles are: ABC, BCD, CDA, DAB, AXB, BXC, CXD, DXA, and PQR 9 triangles with 9 lines. Could have done 13 triangles with 7 lines by drawing a line from A to BC.
