Well, isn't that a fun little puzzle! To cut a ball into 9 pieces with just 3 cuts, you can start by making two perpendicular cuts to divide the ball into quarters. Then, you can make a third cut horizontally through the middle of the ball. This will give you 9 equal pieces, each with a slice of the ball. It's all about seeing things from different angles and finding creative solutions!
To cut a ball into 9 pieces with only 3 cuts, you can achieve this by first making two perpendicular cuts to divide the ball into four equal quarters. Then, stack these quarters on top of each other and make a single cut through the center, perpendicular to the first two cuts. This will result in 9 equal pieces: 4 quarters from the initial cuts, and 5 additional pieces from the third cut through the center.

How can you cut a pizza into 29 pieces with 7 straight cuts?
Cut a pizza into 2 using one straight cut. Stack the pieces and make a straight cut: you now have 22 = 4 pieces from 2 cuts. Stack these and make a straight cut: you now have 23 = 8 pieces from 3 cuts. Continue. After 7 cuts you can have 27 = 128 pieces. You can reduce the number of pieces to 29 if, after the fourth cut, you stack and cut only 11 pieces and thereafter cut just one each time. There are other options which give the same result.
What is the least number of cuts required to cut a cube into 504 identical pieces?
To cut a cube into 504 identical pieces, you would need to make 503 cuts. Each cut divides the cube into two pieces, so the first cut creates 2 pieces, the second cut creates 4 pieces, the third cut creates 8 pieces, and so on. Therefore, to reach 504 pieces, you would need to make 503 cuts.
What are the minimum number of pieces a cube can be cut into by 13 cuts?
If no cut intersects any previous cuts, then you can just slice it into 14 pieces.
A pie can be cut into more than seven pieces by making four diameter cuts?
Four diameter cuts, if none of them are the same, will always cut a pie into 8 pieces.
How can you cut a pizza into 11 pieces with 4 straight cuts?
A pizza can be cut into eleven pieces with 4 straight cuts if an X is cut, then the rest of the pizza is cut starting from the right and working to the left in four straight lines.

How do you cut three bananas into nine pieces by only three cuts?
Lay the bananas next to each other then cut through all the bananas together. By making three cuts you will get nine pieces of banana.
What are the minimum number of pieces a cube can be cut into by 13 cuts?
If no cut intersects any previous cuts, then you can just slice it into 14 pieces.
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).
A pie can be cut into more than seven pieces by making four diameter cuts?
Four diameter cuts, if none of them are the same, will always cut a pie into 8 pieces.
What is the largest number of pieces you could cut a pie into with three straight cuts of a knife?
Eight. Use the first two cuts to cut the pie into four pieces, then use the third cut to slice the top from the bottom, doubling the number of pieces to 8.
How can you cut a pizza into 11 pieces with 4 straight cuts?
A pizza can be cut into eleven pieces with 4 straight cuts if an X is cut, then the rest of the pizza is cut starting from the right and working to the left in four straight lines.
How do you cut a square into 12 pieces?
2 horizontal cuts and 3 vertical cuts OR 3 horizontal cuts and 2 vertical cuts
A log is cut into four pieces at 12 seconds at the same rate how long would it take to cut 5 pieces?
4 pieces took 3 cuts.5 pieces will take 4 cuts.4 cuts requires (4/3) as much time as 3 cuts took= (4/3) x 12 = 16 seconds.
How can you make a pizza with 8 slices when you only draw 3 lines?
Each cut("line") increases the number of slices by a multiple of 2 (provided that each cut crosses the center of the pizza). So, 1 cut would make 2 pieces, 2 cuts would make 4 pieces and 3 cuts would make 8 pieces
