How do you cut pizza into eight equal slices using three lines?
Cut it in two halves. Stack the two halves, one on top of the other, and cut the pile in half. Stack the four quarters, one on top of the other, and cut the pile in half. Three cuts, eight slices.
How do you divide a circle into eight parts using three straight lines?
You can cut a round cake into eight parts with three cuts, but you can't cut a circle into eight parts with three straight lines.
What do you call a line that cuts a circle in half?
Diameter
What is the longest line across a circle?
It is a diameter, the line that cuts the circle in an exact half.It is the diameter and passes through the center of the circle.
What is the shortest line between any two points?
In plane geometry it is a straight line. If you want to know the shortest line between two points on a globe, it will be the intervening section or arc of the great circle route that connects the points. The great circle will be a circle that cuts the globe into exactly equal parts, like the equator.
How many cuts does it take to make 6 equal-size slices of bread from a loaf?
Five, if you slice normally, like store-bought bread. But if you slice the bread in half vertically and make two horizontal cuts, you will have six equal-sized slices as well, with only three cuts.
How do you cut a pizza into 15 piece with 5 cuts?
you can cut two horizontal cuts and one vertical cuts it'll create two columns of three slices now, with the last two cuts run a cut that splits at least four current slices making ten slices total and your last cut should split 5 current slices making 15 total i wish i could show you but it'll give you 15 slices

The maximum number of pieces into which a pizza can be cut by making 6 cuts?
2n or 2 x n because if you cut it one time it will be two slices (1 x 2) it you cut it two times it will be four slices (2 x 2) ''---------------- I am afraid that's not correct. Based on the above for 3 cuts, n=3 and number of slices would be 3x2=6, which is not the correct answer. If the the third cut intersects both the previous cuts at dfifferent points, you would get 7 slices. And if you make a fourth cut in such a way that it intersects previous cuts at different points, you would get 11 slices. (Now slices may be crumb sized, that is a different matter, but mathematically that is the max slices you could make!!) In general, maximum number of slices with n cuts would be (n^2 + n + 2)/2
What are different cuts and slices?
Cuts are normally larger with more bulk, whereas slices are thinner. For example you can slice a cut of beef roast.
What is a great cicle?
Much bigger and better than a regular circle... But seriously, a great circle on a sphere is a circle that runs along the surface of that sphere and cuts it into two equal halves. It is the largest circle that can be drawn on a given sphere. The center of any great circle is the center of the sphere.
