A rigid shape is when you cant push/pull on it and make it turn into a different shape. You can make shapes rigid by adding "braces", which are lines that you put inside the shape to make triangles (which are rigid). For instance, a square is notrigid. To make it rigid, you would put a brace inside diagonally. This would create TWO triangles, and therefore, rigid. ~xDragonx

If the straw were normal and 8.25 inches then it would take 4.772121212121212... straws.
You would need 12 straws of equal sizes because a cube has 12 equal edges, 8 vertices and 6 faces
The answer will depend on what the shape is. And since you have not bothered to share that crucial bit of information, I cannot provide a more useful answer.
To create a triangular prism using straws, you would need a minimum of 6 straws. This is because a triangular prism has two triangular faces and three rectangular faces. Each triangular face would require 3 straws, and each rectangular face would require 2 straws. Therefore, the total number of straws needed would be 2 (for the triangular faces) + 3 (for the rectangular faces) = 6 straws.

6 straws are needed
assuming the straws do not bend, you would need six
That's going to depend on what shape you're building, which, as far as I can see, you neglected to mention.
16 straws.

To build the skeleton of a triangle-based prism, you would need 9 straws: 3 for each edge of the triangle base (totaling 9 straws) and 6 additional straws to connect the vertices of the triangle to form the prism.
You would need 12 straws because a cuboid has 12 edges, 8 vertices and 6 faces
