Grandma has just finished baking a large rectangular pan of brownies. She is planning to make rectangular pieces of equal size a

nd shape, with straight cuts parallel to the sides of the pan. Each cut must be made entirely across the pan. Grandma wants to make the same number of interior pieces as pieces along the perimeter of the pan. What is the greatest possible number of brownies she can produce

Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side lengths of the rectangular pan be m and n. It follows that (m-2)  (n-2)= mn/2

So, since haf of the brownie pieces are in the interior. This gives 2 (m-2) (n-2) =mn

mn- 2m - 2n- 4 = 0

Then Adding 8 to both sides and applying, we obtain (m-2) (n-2) =8

Since now, m and n are both positive, we obtain (m,n) = (5,12), (6,8) (up to ordering). By inspection, 5. 12 = 60

which maximizes the number of brownies in total which is the greatest number.

Hope that helped! =)

13. Find the surface area of each figure to the nearest tenth. Show your work.
stiv31 [10]
A. The figure is a triangular pyramid. You can findits surface area by adding up the area of the three faces of the triangle and the area of the base. A derived formula also is used where the SA is equal to 12 times the perimeter of base times the slant height, added to that is the area of the base. The area of the square base is s^2. Its perimeter is 4s.

SA of Pyramid = 12*P*l + s^2
SA of Pyramid = 12*4s*l + 16^2
SA of Pyramid = 12*4(16)*(17) + (16)^2
SA of Pyramid = 11,008 square inches

b.) The formula for the SA of a cone is: 

SA of cone = πr[r+√(h^2+r^2)]
SA of cone = π(3)[(3+√(8^2+3^2)]
SA of cone = 108.8 square inches
