Can you cut a circle into 5 pieces with 2 straight lines?
No, because, none of the combinations of lines can evenly slit spaces. Fold the circle first, and then you can cut the circle into 5 pieces with 2 straight lines.
How many cuts does it take to divide a log into 6 equal sized pieces?
5 (unless you cut lengthwise).
How do you cut a cake into 16 pieces using 5 cuts?
Cut a round cake in eight equal sized wedge shaped pieces with four vertical cuts, then make one horizontal cut through the center of the cake to equal sixteen pieces.It's slightly more tricky if you are only allowed to cut the horizontal cross-section of the cake (treat the cake as a circle). In this case, first divide the cake with one cut (2 pieces), then cut it again so that it intersects the first cut (4 pieces), then cut it a third time so that it intersects both cuts previously made, at different points (7 pieces), then let the fourth cut intersect all three cuts so far at different points (11 pieces), and let the fifth and final cut intersect all four cuts at different points (16 pieces total).
What is the measure of the central angle of each sector if you divide a circle into five equal sectors?
360 degrees / 5 pieces = 72 degrees
If it takes 20 minutes to saw a log into 5 equal pieces how long will it take to saw a second log that is the same size as the first into 10 equal pieces at the same rate?
Assuming the pieces are not rearranged so that more than one piece is cut at a time, then: 5 pieces requires cuts, so each cut takes 20 minutes/4 each. 10 pieces require 9 cuts, therefore they will take 20/4 × 9 minutes = 45 minutes.

What is the greatest number of pieces that a circle be cut by 5 straight lines?
16
How do you cut a circle into the most pieces using 5 lines show pictures?
16
How Can you split a square equally in 5 pieces?
take the square and cut it into equal (pretty thin) rectangles\\for like a five inch square:put a ruler next to the square and cut in on the first one inch line.keep cutting in till you have 5 equal pieces
If it takes 5 minutes to cut across a log how long does it take to cut a 5 foot log into 5 equal parts?
20 minutes. It only takes 4 cuts to make 5 equal-sized pieces.
If it takes five minutes to cut across a log how long will it take to cut a five- foot log into five equal pieces?
To cut a 5-foot log into 5 equal pieces, you would need to make 4 cuts to create 5 equal sections. If it takes 5 minutes to make one cut across the log, you would need a total of 4 cuts, so it would take 20 minutes to cut the 5-foot log into five equal pieces.
How much does two meters cut into 5 equal pieces?
Each piece is 40 cm long.
How many cuts does it take to divide a log into 6 equal sized pieces?
5 (unless you cut lengthwise).

How do you cut a rectangle into 16 pieces with only 5 pieces of string?
You can cut the string into 15 total pieces.
Can you cut a circle into 5 equal parts?
AnswerThere are 2pi radians in a full circle. If we cut a circle into 5 equal parts, each central angle will have 2pi/5 (or 72 degrees), and each arc intercepted form those central angles will be (2/5)(pi)(r). AnswerYes, you can, using just a compass and straight edge. For any given circle you construct, construct a pentagon inside it using that compass and straight edge, then use the vertices of the pentagon to divide the circle into 5 equal sectors. Use the link below to see how the construction proceeds.
