What three shapes made from straws would be rigid?
triangle , square , rectangle
What is a rigid shape?
A rigid shape is when you cant push/pull on it and make it turn into a different shape. You can make shapes rigid by adding "braces", which are lines that you put inside the shape to make triangles (which are rigid). For instance, a square is notrigid. To make it rigid, you would put a brace inside diagonally. This would create TWO triangles, and therefore, rigid. ~xDragonx
How many straws would you need if you used quarter straws for the edges of the base and whole straws for the other edges?
The answer will depend on what the shape is. And since you have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
How many straws does it take to make a meter?
If the straw were normal and 8.25 inches then it would take 4.772121212121212... straws.
How many straws would you need to make a dodecahedron?
There are various types of dodecahedrons. A regular dodecahedron has twelve faces, each with five edges. Altogether there are thirty edges. So you could make a regular dodecahedron with thirty straws, or one very long one! You could even make one with sixty straws, but you would have to join them together in pairs to make the thirty edges! For more information, see 'Related links' below this box.

How many straws would you need if you used whole straws for the side edges and quarter straws for the base edges?
That's going to depend on what shape you're building, which, as far as I can see, you neglected to mention.
Which transformation is not a rigid transformation?
A rigid transformation means it has the same size and shape so it would be a dilation

Why is a zeppelin unusual?
A zeppelin was a lighter-than-air craft like a blimp or balloon, yet it had a rigid airframe like a heavier-than-air craft. If you punctured a hole in a nonrigid blimp or balloon, or a semi rigid dirigible, it would deflate and lose its shape, whereas the rigid airframe of a zeppelin would hold its shape.
How many straws would you need if you used quarter straws for the edges of the base and whole straws for the other edges of octagon?
6
how many straws would you need if you used whole straws for the side edges and quarter straws for the base edges for an octagonal pyramid?
6
How do you protect an egg from a seven-story fall with only straws?
You will need to create a box that wraps around the egg with as much cushion as possible. I would take the straws and box in the eggs with several layers. There a number of ways to help protect the egg. It would be a lot easier if you could use more items the just the straws.
What are the minimum number of straws needed to make a tetrahedron?
assuming the straws do not bend, you would need six
How many straws would you use to make a octagonal pyramid for its side edges and base edges?
16 straws.
How many straws does it take to make a meter?
If the straw were normal and 8.25 inches then it would take 4.772121212121212... straws.
