Hi,is it possible to draw 3 triangles using 6 line segments and if so how?

Answer 1

you can do it in five line segments

Answer 2

It's easier to draw four triangles with six line segments. Draw a square, with two intersecting cross lines. But three would involve a shared apex and a common base line for two of the triangles, which would slant up to form the base of the third triangle.
If the base line remains straight, it only uses five line segments, so you have to break the base line into two segments by changing the direction for one part of it.

Answer 3

Its actually possible to draw 4 triangles with 6 lines segments: Just make an "x" inside a box

Answer 4

sure is
first draw a triangle then start your second triangle with a line from the botom left corner of your first at an angle so it goes through the right side about half way up draw a fourth line coming back at an angle so it goes under your first trianglr but not through it ,conect your forth and fith lines with the sixth.
you now have a right triangle in side yor first and second triangle

Answer 5

Draw two lines horizontally, one beneath the other and the bottom one shorter than the top... then connect those two lines with diagonal lines so you make a trapezoid. Then make a V in the middle (the ends of the V should touch the corners on the trapezoid).

Answer 6

yes picture a rectagle with an X connecting opposite corners that is 4 triangle just erase one outside line

Answer 7

Draw one big triangle with three lines, then three lines inside that one to form three inner parts.

Answer 8

it looks like a trapazoid w/ 2 triangles pointing up on either side, and one pointing down in the middle.

Answer 9

this is how u draw a trianagle with 6 line segments

Connect the lines and you get 6 line segments
