Question
can you make a square with 18 blocks
Answers

To create a square using blocks, the total number of blocks must be a perfect square, meaning it should equal \( n^2 \) for some integer \( n \).
In your case, you have 18 blocks. The largest perfect square that is less than or equal to 18 is \( 16 \) (which is \( 4^2 \)). This means you cannot form a complete square using all 18 blocks.
However, if you are willing to use fewer blocks, you can create a square of \( 4 \times 4 \) (which uses 16 blocks). You would have 2 blocks remaining if you do so.
If you would like to do something else with the blocks or have a different configuration in mind, please let me know!
