Yes.

Draw three line segments so that they cross at three points forming a triangle (with each side extending beyond the vertices of the triangle).

Draw one circle to enclose the triangle without touching it to intersect the extended sides at a further 6 points, making 9 points of intersection so far.

Draw the second circle slightly shifted (relative to the first) so that it also encloses the triangle (without touching it) creating a further 6 intersection points with the three lines and 2 with the first circle; an additional 8 intersection points making 17 in all.

A prime number has exactly two factorsI and itself if you circle a prime number in the factor game your opponent will receive at most one point Explain why give some examples?

I believe you already explained it. It's the rules of the game. You circle a number, you get the points for that number, your opponent gets points for its factors. 17 is a prime number. Its factors are 17 and 1. Circle it. You get 17 points, your opponent gets 1.

A sphere with radius 17 m is cut by a plane that is 8 m below its center Which is the best approximation of the area of the circle formed by the intersection of the plane and the sphere?

If you view the plane edge-on so that it appears as a line cutting through the sphere which appears as a circle, you can create a right triangle from the circle's center point down to the closest point on the line, then along the line to one of the points where it intersects the circle. The leg of the triangle going down from the center point is 8 meters long. The hypotenuse of the triangle, running from the circle's center to the point of intersection at the circles edge, is the radius of the circle which is 17 m. We can now calculate the remaining leg of this right triangle (side 1 squared + side 2 squared = hypotenuse squared) as 82+x2 = 172 so x = 15. This leg of the triangle is half the length of the line segment within the circle, or going back to 3 dimensions, it is the radius of the circle created by the plane passing through the sphere. The area of this circle is therefor pi * r2 where r = 15 so the area is approximately 707.
