To move 4 toothpicks from 4 squares to make 3 squares, you can start by taking one toothpick from each of two squares and using them to create a new square. This will leave you with two squares. Then, take two toothpicks from one of the remaining squares and use them to join the two squares together, forming a larger square. This way, you have successfully moved 4 toothpicks from 4 squares to make 3 squares.

A square has 4 sides therefore 3 squares from 12 toothpicks will simply be three unconnected squares
How do you make a square out of 3 toothpicks?
break the toothpicks and you've doubled your amount of toothpicks
How do you move three lines from five squares to make 4 squares?
Move 3 lines "from" - do you mean 'remove 3 lines from' - or - move 3 lines to other places? Anyway, this all depends on the layout of the five squares.
How can you take 9 toothpicks and make ten without breaking the toothpicks?
Arrange the 9 toothpicks thus: 7 + 3
If i have 12 matches how do i move them to make 3 equal squares?
A sort of triangle of squares. Lay out 3 squares side by side using 10 matches. Take the middle match from the bottom row and use it and the other two to make a square based on the middle match of the top row.
How do you move three lines from four squares to make three squares of equal size?
Is this question supposed to have 12 toothpicks to make 4 squares and then move 3 toothpicks to make 3 equal sized squares? Answer depends on the restrictions. Just move 3 sticks from any square to form a straight vertical or horizontal line up of squares is one option if there is no restrictions other than the three resulting squares are equal sizes.

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 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.

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.
