Question

My son wants to make and equilateral triangle with sticks and string. Explain how he could do this?

Answer 1

To make an equilateral triangle with sticks and string, tie an object to the end of a string and swing it in a horizontal circle above your head. The triangle formed by the string will be an equilateral triangle if swung correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

To make an equilateral triangle with sticks and string, your son can follow these steps:

1. Tie an object at the end of a string.
2. Hold the string with the object at one end and swing the object around in a horizontal circle above your head (swing from your wrist). The circle should be horizontal.
3. As you swing the object, the string will form a triangle shape. If you swing it correctly, all three sides of the triangle will be equal in length, making it an equilateral triangle.

By following these steps, your son can create an equilateral triangle using sticks and string.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cut six desired measures of string to properly wrap and tied around each end of the three sticks

2. Once fastened, bring two of the sticks together making one the bottom (base) and the other a side (angle).

3.Cut a tiny piece of rope to interlock with the rope you already have tied on the ends.

4.Tie the ends together with the new cut of string and make your desired angle as you tighten it.

5. Mirror Step 4 for the other end of the bottom stick (base), while most importantly mirroring the desired angle of step 4.

This should give you a proper equilateral triangle made out of sticks and string or anything of these two materials.
