Since you didn't state the straws have to be the same length...

Cut four straws of length 1 unit, and four at 1.5 units. the four longer ones lie end-to-end in two pairs, and the shorter ones lie perpendicular between those to form the uprights.

What is enlarging and reducing shapes?

Enlarging: When you are enlarging shapes you make it bigger than its normal size but if you were given a grid and your shape or picture was given a gird and if the grids has the same number of squares but the squares in the other gird are bigger, you just need to check the coordinates from your original shape in the grid and draw the other shape in the other gird with the same coordinates. Reducing: You just reduce (make it smaller) the size of the shape but if you were given a grid and your shape or picture was given a gird and if the grids has the same number of squares but the squares in the other gird are smaller, you just need to check the coordinates from your original shape in the grid and draw the other shape in the other gird with the same coordinates. g3


What is the formula to find the number of squares on a chessboard?

The square of the number of tiles on each row or column. Generally a chess board has 64 squares. This answer given above by one of our friends is true only incase of squares of same size. But as we consider all possible squares of different sizes, then it will be calcualted using the formula, 12+22+32+42+52+62+72+82


How many Squares are in a 7 by 7 grid?

There are 49 of the smallest squares. However, any grid forms "squares" that consist of more than one of the smallest squares. For example, there are four different 6x6 squares that each include 36 of the small squares, nine different 5x5 squares, sixteen 4x4 squares, twenty-five 3 x 3 squares, and thirty-six different squares that contain 4 of the small squares. One could therefore discern 140 distinct "squares." The number can be calculated from the formula [(n)(n+1)(2n+1)] / 6 where n is the grid size.
