#22: 12 Blocks with Precise Dimensions by Nabed Ahmed

Block #1

LxWxH = 8x5x5

Block #2

LxWxH = 8x5x5

Block #3

LxWxH = 9x4x6

Block #4

For all of these 12 blocks we had to make squares and then push/pull them. After that we used the measuring tape to use the dimensions we needed. When we did that we used the tape measuring tool again to measure the correct dimension to cut out.
