Any one of the four as long as it makes simultaneous contact with the remaining three, positioning them perfectly and the final positioning of the one you are moving completes the perfect square.
Make one square out of four toothpicks and then make another square using one of the sides of the first square and the remaining three toothpicks. It is easy. Make a square out of four toothpicks. Put three toothpicks around one of the bottom corners of your first square to form a second square. IGNORE THE LINES LOOK AT THE NUMBERS! 1__2 3__4__7 ___5__6
Using 8 of the toothpicks, make a square with two on each side. Using another two, make a smaller square in one corner of the first. Using the remaining two, make a cross in the middle of the second square. One large square on the outside, one medium square inside it and four small squares formed inside that, for a total of six.
make three squares and overlap them so that two of them meet in the center of the third square, making four smaller squares in the center
To solve this, you simply have to put the toothpicks in the shape of a 1 and a 0 to make "10"
you can multiply two whole numbers together to get that. if you use graph paper, you could make a perfect square. the area of that square is called a perfect square because you can make a perfect square using that many units as the area. for example 4x4=16, so 16 would be the perfect 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.
break the toothpicks and you've doubled your amount of toothpicks
using four of them you make a square then using the remaining two make a criss cross in the middle of the square.
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.

Start with a 2x2 square (that uses 8 toothpicks) Use the other two to make a 1x1 square in one of the corners of the big one..
make three squares and overlap them so that two of them meet in the center of the third square, making four smaller squares in the center
A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
To form a perfect square with one toothpick, you can move one toothpick from the original square to create a smaller square inside it. To form another square in a different way, you can remove three toothpicks from the original square and rearrange them to create a new square adjacent to the original one. This method involves creating a larger square by adding the remaining toothpicks to the newly formed square.
You can make three rectangles. Remember that a square can also be a rectangle.5x14x23x3
