Firstly, take out three toothpicks that form a triangle. You will be left with two triangles. Secondly, place all three toothpicks to form a triangle above the centre of the two triangles. Four small triangles and a large triangle will be formed, which makes them five triangles. Example: At first: /_\/_\/_\ Imagine that these are three triangles (nine toothpicks), with the sides joined. Secondly: /_\/_\ Imagine that you have taken away one triangle (three toothpicks). Thirdly: Place the three toothpicks to form a triangle above the two triangles. Imagine that the sides are joined. Four small triangles are formed. The four triangles make up a large triangle, which makes them five. /_\

∙ 14y agoThis can be done in 3D. Place four toothpicks in a square shape on a flat surface. Take a further two toothpicks and place them in such a way that they for an upward triangle on two adjacent sides of the square on the floor. Take a further two toothpicks and do the sam on the other adjacent side. Take the last remaining toothpick and joint the two triangles. You have now created three equally sized squared in 3D

How do you build a strong tower made out of toothpicks and white glue?
Buy pieces of styrofoam. Then, you stick the base in styrofoam. Next, you measure the length of the first piece and the length of the shape of the toothpicks. You may put some vertical on the horizontal toothpicks. Cut off the top of the toothpicks, and put glue on them. If you just poke the next piece of the styrofoam on, you wouldn't be using the glue. Make sure the length of the styrofoam is slightly bigger than the shape of the toothpicks. Glue the styrofoam on. Lastly, do it over and over again until reached height desired. You will need • pieces of styrofoam • Over 100 pieces of toothpicks • Elmer's Glue-All glue
A square snakes and ladders board has 100 squares and a diagonal length of 35cm Find the lengthof sideof one of the smaller squares?

How many toothpicks can be made in 1 meter and 1 average tree?
I would guess about 17. Look, if you're not going to specify a length/width for the toothpicks, or define "average tree", you can't expect a serious answer.
Dimension of a square?
Squares have two dimensions - length and width. Two dimensional figures are things like squares, rectangles, circles, and triangles, which have length and width.
If i have a rectangular card 240cm2 how many 7cm sided squares could i cut out. If you could explain as well how you did it it would be awesome?
Area of a Square is given by s^2 (s = length of a side)Using that, the area of one of the small squares is 7^2 = 49cm^2Now, how many of these squares can be cut out of a 240cm^2 square is given by:240/49 = 4, 89 squares = 4 complete squares or Just less than 5 Squares.
