We connect dots with toothpicks in a grid as shown below. If there are 10 horizontal toothpicks in each row and 20 vertical ones in each column, how many total toothpicks are there?

I would think that you would multiply the number of toothpicks in a column by the number of columns, so 20x10, then add the number of toothpicks in a row by the number of columns, again 20x10. Not positive though
