using four of them you make a square then using the remaining two make a criss cross in the middle of the square.
The two triangles would make either a square or a rectangle.
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.
The triangles must be congruent.
You can make three rectangles. Remember that a square can also be a rectangle.5x14x23x3
Make a two by two grid with six toothpicks, and then place the other two toothpicks at a 45 degree angle on the corner of two of the squares.

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.
John built a model of a frog skeleton using 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.

To create an earthquake-safe building out of toothpicks and marshmallows, you can design a structure with a strong base and interconnected supports. Use diagonals and triangles to add stability and distribute forces. Additionally, consider damping mechanisms like adding marshmallow cushions to absorb shaking to prevent collapse.
You need 8 toothpicks to spell the word HAT by using one toothpick for each letter and five toothpicks to form the 'A' by overlapping two toothpicks for each leg.
A mixture of pins and toothpicks can be separated by using a magnet to attract the pins and leaving the toothpicks behind. Alternatively, the mixture can be sifted through a sieve to separate the larger pins from the smaller toothpicks.
lots of glue.
using toothpicks
You can make hot cinnamon toothpicks using boiling water instead of soaking in a jar by using regulated heat.
