+123 We connect dots with toothpicks in a grid as shown below. The grid below has 5 horizontal toothpicks in each row and 5 vertical toothpicks in each column.

Suppose we instead have a grid of dots that requires 10 horizontal toothpicks in each row and 20 vertical ones in each column. Then, how many total toothpicks will we need?

well actually never mind this comment I cheked your previous problems you in a higher level of math than me sorry about this inconvience.
+129899 The number of horizontal toothpicks =
(number of horizontal toothpicks in one row ) (number of vertical toothpicks in each column + 1)
Similarly.....
The number of vertical toothpicks =
(number of vertical toothpicks in each column) (number of horizontal toothpicks in each row + 1)
So.....
The total number of horizontal toothpicks = (10)(20 + 1) = 10 * 21 = 210
And
The number of vertical toothpicks + (20 ) (10 + 1) = 20 * 11 = 220
So...the total toothpicks = 210 + 220 = 430
