How is making rectangles from square tiles help you define and identify prime numbers and composite?
If you can only make one rectangle, your number's prime. If you can make more than one, it's composite.
How many rectangles can you build with a prime number square tiles?
Given P = Prime number then you can build (P-1)/2 number of rectangles given any prime number. All prime numbers are odd and you would need two squares to make a rectangle. Given that you need two squares to build a rectangle, you divide your prime number by two to get the number of "pairs" of squares and thus the number of rectangles you can build. Since the number 2 does not divide evenly into an odd number - all prime numbers are odd - then you either subtract one from the prime number before dividing or discard the remainder if you choose not to subtract one before dividing.
What square number subtracts to a prime number to make 74?
81 - 7
How do you make a prime number by subtracting two square numbers?
16 - 9 = 7.
Can you make a square number from adding two prime numbers?
25 = 23 + 2

What do you do to a prime number to make it have 3 factors?
Square it.
Can 2 rectangles make a square?
All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares. Basically, a square is a rectangle where all sides are the same length. However, providing that the width is half of the length, or vice versa, and you join the two rectangles along the one of the sides that is longer, two rectangles can make a square. Example: 1x2 rectangle joined with another 1x2 rectangle will make a 2x2 square.
How can making rectangles from units help define and identify prime and composite numbers?
If you can make more than one rectangle, it's a composite number. If you can only make one, it's prime.
What square number subtracts to a prime number to make 74?

How many different rectangles can you make using 12 toothpicks?
You can make three rectangles. Remember that a square can also be a rectangle.5x14x23x3
What shape does 8 rectangles and 2 hexagons make?
SQUARE
Can you make any square number out of only two prime numbers?
I might be reading this incorrectly, but it seems to me that I can take two prime numbers, 3 and 3, and make the square number nine out of them. This is also true of all the other prime numbers.
How do you make a prime number by subtracting two square numbers?
16 - 9 = 7.
Can you make a square number from adding two prime numbers?
25 = 23 + 2
This number of tiles will make only one rectangle?
Assuming that you are asking about a rectangular or square tile, the answer is one--Squares are rectangles with sides of equal lenght.
