It should look kinda like the example above. Except it would be squares lol.
Make two crosses with the 4 long straws put the ends of these together so that one square is made then make two right angles with the four short straws and place them at the other side of each cross to make three squares in a diagonal line. :)
12 straws
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.
8 straws 4 for the square base 4 for 1 each of the sides, to meet at the top.
6 of them
Six squares make up the surface of a tube.
In order to make three squares the same size with four long straws and four short straws make a ladder with the straws. Place the long straws at the side the short ones are the rungs.
first put two long ones at the top and at the bottom.then put 1 short one on each side.the two left overs you put in the middle.
There are 6C2 = 6*5/(2*1) = 15 pairs.
how to make a table with straws
yes straws do make you fart
You take 6 and make a rectangle which is a square and take one of the 5 sticks break it in 2 to make 6 which you can make another square or rectangle easy
I need 100 straws.
12 straws
Since you didn't state the straws have to be the same length... Cut four straws of length 1 unit, and four at 1.5 units. the four longer ones lie end-to-end in two pairs, and the shorter ones lie perpendicular between those to form the uprights.
Put many straws together to make it stronger
8 straws.
18 straws.
