Ho do you prove the formula for the area of a rectangle?
Use squares and try it out for yourself. Get a number of squares and make a rectangle 3 squares long by 4 squares wide. Count the squares. You should have 12 squares (or 3*4). That's the best way I know to prove the formula.

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 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.

What is the number of toothpicks necessary to spell the word FATYou are not allowed to break or bend any toothpicks?
To spell the word "FAT" using toothpicks, you can represent each letter with a combination of straight lines. The letter "F" requires 4 toothpicks, "A" requires 5 toothpicks, and "T" requires 3 toothpicks. Therefore, the total number of toothpicks needed is 4 + 5 + 3, which equals 12 toothpicks.

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.
