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.

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).

Is 18 toothpicks enough to form 5 quadrilaterals if no quadrilateral shares a toothpick with another quadrilateral?

Yes, if a generic square is made, and a toothpick along the vertical and horizontal line of symmetry, and then another generic square. 18 is enough to form it, and so is any double-digit number.JK they cant share any. But maybe, if you use more than toothpicks


How many toothpicks would you need to make the word hat without breaking them?

If you get a bit creative, you will be able to make the word HAT using 5 toothpicks. If you make the 'H' skinny using 3TP and have the horizontal TP extend out towards the right. Then use 1TP to lay at an angle connecting to the second leg of the 'H' and crossing the horizontal TP leaving a bit extended to form the 'A'. The use 1TP to connect to the extended horizontal toothpick to form the 'T". 3 +1 +1 = 5 toothpicks to make the word HAT. However, if you want to do it the simple way, you'll need 8.

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.
