What else can I help you with?
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 rectangles can you make out of 12 toothpicks?
2 rectangles. Put two toothpicks on 2 sides and one on the other side, and that uses 6 toothpicks and if you make another rectangle like that you make 2 rectangles.
How do you makes 5 triangles moving 6 toothpicks with 12 toothpicks?
To create 5 triangles using 6 toothpicks from a total of 12, you can form a geometric structure known as a tetrahedron. Start by using 6 toothpicks to create the tetrahedron, which consists of 4 triangular faces. Each face of the tetrahedron counts as one triangle, and by strategically placing the toothpicks, you can also include additional triangles formed by the intersections within the structure, thus achieving a total of 5 triangles. The remaining 6 toothpicks can be set aside or used for further constructions.
How do you use 10 toothpicks to make 3 congruent squares?
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.
How many squares in a 3 by 4 grid?
12 squares.
How do you make 3 squares with 12 toothpicks?
A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
How do you make 6 squares with 12 toothpicks?
You make 3-D! Look... 6 squares in one cube and you can do that with toothpicks too!
How do you make six squares with 12 toothpicks?
bend 2 toothpicks at 90 degree angles and put them cornor to cornor
How do you arrange to 12 toothpicks into 6 identical squares?
Use them to form the edges of a cube.
How do you make 6 squares using 12 toothpicks?
You can arrange them to make a cube.12 edges, 6 faces.
How do you Move 4 toothpicks from 4 squares to make 3 squares?
move
If you have 12 toothpicks that are put in four squares that are connected How do you move 2 to make 7 squares?
Take two toothpicks that create an outside corner. Cross them like a + inside one of the remaining boxes. Count the new four smaller boxes inside it as 4, the one they are formed in as 5, and the two untouched boxes as 6 and 7. (The trick is to remember to count the larger box the 4 are formed in.)
Toothpicks with five squares move only two to make seven squares?
Note that the question does not say how the 5 squares are arranged. Let me specify one scenario: ____ |_|_| |_|_| |_| Take the two toothpicks from the upper left corner (the upper-right and the corner right below it will do too) and put them inside one of the remaining squares like a cross +. I can count 7 squares or 8 squares, depending on whether I count the square that contains the + or not. If your question can be more specific about the count of toothpicks, perhaps we can have a better solution. ======================
How do you make 2 squares and 4 triangles using 8 toothpicks?
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.
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.

Toothhpicks in a drawing have been arranged to from four square remove two of the toothpicks and leave only two squares?
Remove one of the outer toothpicks and one of the dividers of two squares. there you have two SQUARES .
Make an x on each of 4 toothpicks so you can remove 7 squares all the same size would be left?
five
