Jigsaw puzzles are a specially invented task, on which you need to think for a long time, showing ingenuity, in order to solve it. This way to develop logical thinking and ingenuity has been used since ancient times. There are many types of similar puzzles; consider a charade with matches in an article.
How to make 6 triangles from 6 matches?
As you can see from the assignment, first you need to prepare 6 matches. They can be replaced with toothpicks or ordinary sticks, but they should be equal to each other and preferably even. Try making 6 triangles out of them.
Such a task cannot be solved immediately, here you need to be smart and quick-witted. Of course, we already have an answer for you. But still, we recommend that you first try to answer the task yourself, so you will train your ingenuity, and a person will get more pleasure if he solves the task.
The answer to the first puzzle
If it’s not working out for you, then follow our instructions. First you need to take three matches and add one large triangle out of them. Next, we take one match and put it on top of the previously obtained figure. Moreover, it should lie parallel to the match that makes up the base of the triangle. This will be match number 1. Next, take another stick number 2. We put it so that one end lies on the end of match number 1, and the second - clearly in the center of the base of the triangle. With the last unused wand we do the same, but on the other hand. You should get a design with two connected vertices with the letters "X", which are underlined and underlined.
This way you can answer the question of how to make 6 triangles out of 6 matches. As you can see, it turned out 4 small identical triangles and 2 large ones.
How to make 4 equilateral triangles from 6 matches
It is necessary to build 4 identical triangles from 6 sticks. That is, one side of the triangle should be equal to the length of one match.
We also recommend that you first try to solve this problem yourself. This puzzle develops not only thinking, but also creativity. The way to solve such a problem is rather unusual.
Beyond 2D
To solve the problem, one should leave the two-dimensional plane. Yes, right, you should build a three-dimensional figure. You need to arrange the matches so that you get a tetrahedron. For those who do not know what such a voluminous figure looks like, below is a photo of a tetrahedron.
As you can see, it turned out 4 equilateral triangles. One on the bottom and three on the sides. Everything, the task is solved.
